Record to Near Record Warmth Today then Cooler

The first full day of spring will feel like late May rather than late March as temperatures surge into the upper 60s to lower 80s today. Exactly how warm we get is a little uncertain with there being a 20 to 30 percent chance that temperatures warm 3-7 degrees warmer than the current forecast. Be sure to get out and enjoy the warmth!

Record to near-record temperatures are expected today and then temperatures will become cooler for the new work week. Other than some small precipitation chances for tonight into Sunday morning, it will be dry through Wednesday.
