Good evening, everyone. Temps were slow to respond today as Old Man Winter has a tough time letting go. This refusal to let go comes into play later this week as we have a wild weather ride to end the week.
Temps are set to soar ahead of a strong cold front arriving Thursday. Temps can reach the 60s in the east if the skies stay sunny long enough. Regardless, temps will be in the 50s on a gusty southwest wind. With the powerful front moving in, we even have the chance for a few strong or severe storms during the afternoon and evening. The Storm Prediction Center is highlighting the threat with a Marginal Risk for severe storms for much of the area…

The medium range forecast models are starting to see this…
Enjoy the evening and take care.
