Forecast: Spring warmth blooms today and tomorrow, chill down this weekend
Yesterday was just the warm up, pun intended, as today makes us all long for an early dismissal from whatever keeps us indoors. Friday also promises another temperature treat but a stronger breeze makes it a bit harder to appreciate and showers may arrive in the afternoon. This sad excuse of a winter tries to bully back in for the weekend but the best it can do is knock highs down to just below normal.
