Discussion              

High pressure pushes off the coast today and that re-positioning will open the door here for much warmer weather during the next few days. After morning clouds and a possible shower or two, the afternoon will feature clearing skies and temperatures will jump to the middle 70’s. On Wednesday and Thursday, it turns even warmer with a run to 80+ degrees each day and there can be a shower and thunderstorm from time-to-time. A cool front passes through on Thursday night and the work week will end slightly cooler and then a second cold front likely ushers in colder air for Easter Sunday.
