The pattern of much below normal temperatures will finally break, albeit slowly, starting this weekend. After a soaker to start last week, and a gloomy, rainy Thursday, it will be nice to see a break from the rain. We won’t get another rain chance until Wednesday of this coming week.

Rest of today – mostly sunny with a gusty northwest wind as high as 25 mph, though sustained wind will be calmer in the 10-15 mph range. High temperatures in the low-50s.

Saturday – high pressure will begin to take firm hold of the weather in the region, yielding sunny weather with warmer temperatures in the upper-50s to near 60°F.

Sunday – another beautiful spring day with bright, sunny skies and temperatures near 60°F.

Monday – sunny, and warmer still with temperatures starting to creep into the low-60s.
