First 60° may not be that far away

As we look ahead into the next couple of weeks the pattern appears to remain fairly active with a storm system every couple of days, but this could bring warmer temperatures as early as the middle of next week.  We've got a few storm systems lined up in the Pacific that will begin to move through - with the first coming late on Friday.  This one will likely take a more northerly track but southerly winds ahead of it will help boost temperatures into the upper 40s to near 50°.  The next one to move in will come Tuesday night followed by another Thursday.

Even though we may cool some as each low passes they will help draw in warmer temperatures.  We may be flirting with the 60s as early as next Tuesday or Wednesday (I went with 55° for next Wednesday, but if this trend continues I will gladly raise my high!)  While this is a ways away and things may change, March is typically thought of as a 'transition' month.  We see our greatest range in average high temperatures with the average high at the beginning of the month at 39° and the average high of 53° at the end.  We've even been know to hit a few 70s.
