Tracking a warmer and windy start of Spring

TODAY: Afternoon highs increase into the mid-60s with winds racing out of the southwest at 12-18 mph with gusts up to 30 mph possible. Skies remain sunny thanks to a high pressure system back to the west. Pollen counts remain moderate this afternoon.

TONIGHT: Winds will shift from the north tonight as a cold front sweeps through this evening. This is without precipitation, and at most we can expect an increase in clouds into Wednesday. Temperatures will be a bit warmer overnight, dropping only into the mid-30s.

EXTENDED: Wednesday will be partly cloudy, and about 10 degrees cooler than Tuesday. With highs in the 50s, we're very seasonable for the first full day of Spring (equinox is at 10:06 p.m. Tuesday). We'll be in the 50s again Thursday, where we have a slim chance for showers. Temperatures are slightly warmer on Friday, near 60, before another weak cold front that brings another slim chance for showers. Saturday is dry and in the 50s behind the front, but we start to warm again to near 60 for Sunday and Monday when we see much better chances for rain.
