Big warm up on the way… Expect temperatures in the 20s this morning, about 5 to 10 degrees warmer than yesterday morning. Highs will reach the upper 40s today, near normal for this time of year and almost 20 degrees warmer than yesterday. We will see a mix of sun and clouds today with an isolated shower possible.

The warm up will continue for the weekend. Highs will warm to into the low and mid 50s on Saturday and into the mid and upper 50s on Sunday. We will see partly cloudy skies this weekend with slim rain chances.

We will climb into the 60s next week, almost 20 degree above normal for this time of year. Clouds will return for early next week with rain moving in by midweek.
