WASHINGTON - After a seasonably chilly morning in the mid-to-upper 20s, we are taking the edge off winter this afternoon as temperatures rise into the mid-50s.

FOX 5's Sue Palka says expect plenty of sunshine and a milder breeze out of the south to have us feeling an early Spring vibe with milder temperatures more typical of mid-March.

It's not as cold overnight either with temperatures only falling into the low to mid 40s.

It's even warmer on Thursday as the temperatures head for the mid to upper 60s with plenty of clouds. Rain looks to arrive with some gusty winds late night and continue overnight.

Any early showers Friday should quickly depart but temperatures drop off through the afternoon to more seasonable levels
