After a chilly morning start, in which temperatures stayed above freezing, we make it into the lower 60's by this afternoon. The daytime high will feel quite warm after two days of flirting with the mid 30's and snowflakes. Warmer still for Thursday and then we see some possibly strong storms returning for Friday. The weekend looks fairly nice with strong storms returning Sunday night and Monday.
