Winter ends, spring begins… and the warmth just keeps going

First Day of Spring:

Today marks the first day of spring, and the new season officially arrives at 10:46AM. As we cross the vernal equinox, daylight and nighttime become nearly identical, and from here on out, we'll see the amount of daylight continue to grow. 

  

Warmth Continues:

Spring begins where winter left off, partly sunny with afternoon highs in the low 60s. Forecast models show a cold front slipping through late in the morning in to the early afternoon. We're not expecting precipitation with today's frontal passage, but it will shift our winds around. By the afternoon, winds turn to the north, and then to the northeast overnight. This could bring the possibility for fog by Saturday morning. 
 

This warm-up fortunately will carry on into the first weekend of spring. South to southwesterly winds on Saturday will give temperatures a huge boost, landing them in the upper 60s, close to 70°. By Sunday, a cold front moves in and shakes things up a bit, knocking temperatures back into the 50s and bringing a chance for a few showers throughout the day. Temperatures trend backwards briefly for the start of next week, landing in the upper 40s Monday.
