Beautiful spring like weather pattern into the first days of the season

THURSDAY: Heading out the door, you’ll want that jacket with wind chills below freezing early in the day. As an upper-level ridge builds in place, a mix of sun and clouds will turn into mostly sunny skies by the afternoon as temperatures climb back into the middle 50s .

TONIGHT : Temperatures will drop back into the mid 30s under clear skies tonight. Westerly winds up to 5 -7 mph will create below freezing wind chills through the morning.

EXTENDED: Quiet weather sticks around on Friday. With plentiful sunshine, temperatures will make it back into the upper 50s and low 60s even with winds out of the north. We’re tracking a change in the pattern heading into the weekend, as our ridge responsible for a bright Friday breaks down. Most of the day on Saturday looks salvageable, but there is a chance of showers heading into the afternoon and evening. The better chance of seeing rain looks to be throughout the day on Sunday through Monday. Temperatures this weekend will be very Spring-like, in the low 60s , but cooler air moves in on Tuesday behind this system.
