Discussion
Today will likely turn out to be the warmest day of the week with high temperatures this afternoon in the mid-to-upper 80’s – well above-normal for this time of year. Clouds will be prevalent tonight and on Thursday and there is a shower threat as the unseasonably warm conditions continue and maybe even a strong thunderstorm or two. A cold front passes through the region early Friday and it could bring us some showers with cooler air to follow the frontal passage as we begin the upcoming weekend. Sunshine is likely on both weekend days and temperatures will trend upwards to comfortably warm levels by Sunday afternoon.
