Discussion
It took awhile, but the chilly, ocean air that infiltrated our area last week finally retreated this weekend and the next few days will feature much warmer-than-normal weather and some record high temperatures may fall. The lower 70’s will be commonplace today for afternoon highs and then the upper 70’s are likely on Tuesday and Wednesday. The chance of showers and thunderstorms will increase from late Wednesday into Thursday as a strong cold frontal system crosses the region and it turns much cooler for Thursday and Friday.
