It was a gorgeous start to the workweek. Temperatures made the mid-60s this afternoon under lots of sunshine. That’s a bit above normal for late March, a trend that persists into Tuesday. We do, however, see some other changes in how it looks out there.

Tomorrow (Tuesday): We’ll see a good deal of clouds through the day. It’s not impossible a stray shower will find its way in during the afternoon, but that’s more likely after dark. Highs will head for the mid-60s. Winds will be out of the east-northeast around 10 mph.

Spring! There’s a chance we could flirt with 80 late week. If we do manage to hit it on Friday, that first 80-degree day of the year would be right about on time. Per the last 30 years, the average is March 31 in the city.
