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. The 60’s will be commonplace today for afternoon highs and then the 70’s are likely on Tuesday and Wednesday with a few records possible. 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.
