Tracking a spring-like week ahead; showers included

TODAY: Monday is warmer with mostly sunny skies and a high in the mid-40s. We will have 10-20 mph southwest winds driving this warmth. Where drought is greatest and snow has mostly melted, in the south, we'll have a chance for erratic fire behavior thanks to the dry and breezy air.

TONIGHT: Temperatures remain in the 20s overnight, near 30 for some, as winds stay southwesterly to westerly.

EXTEDNED: Winds will be variable at times on Tuesday, but the upper level pattern will support more warmth. Partnered with a mild overnight temperature, we'll expect a high near 50 under mostly sunny skies. Our forecast is nearly the same for Wednesday as well, with highs in the 50s expected again on Thursday. Thursday will bring clouds by the morning, though, as an area of low pressure passes to our south. This will bring a chance for rainfall by the noon hour on Thursday for some, with increasing rain chances Thursday evening that will last through Friday. Friday's highs are expected to be slightly cooler, in the 40s, as the system passes. Saturday looks mostly dry, with lingering clouds and a high in the 40s.
