Today: Happy Friday! Today we will start off our warming trend topping out at 60 here in Columbia thanks to our southerly flowing winds.

Tonight: We begin to see clearing skies overnight which does allow us to see temperatures cool down quite a bit to 40.

Extended: Winds continue to flow out of the south for the next several days leading to temperatures being in the mid to lower 70's for this upcoming weekend's/ weeks highs. On Easter Sunday we will see high temperatures reach 74 which will make for a great egg hunt. Cloud cover will be sparse as we look to be partly cloudy every day until we reach Tuesday night where we begin to see an increase in chances for spotty showers that will stay with us until Thursday.
