We got a little taste of spring weather today, as temperatures shot up into the mid 50s under mostly sunny skies. The run of mild and pleasant weather is a short one though, as an approaching cold front will bring widespread rain showers by Sunday afternoon. Much cooler weather awaits us on the other side of the cold front, with highs in the low 40s expected by Tuesday.
