It’s shaping up to be a picture-perfect spring day with plenty of sunshine and mild temperatures between 65 and 70! There will be a bit of a breeze but nothing like yesterday’s gusts.

Late tonight clouds will roll in ahead of our next system which looks to bring another substantial watering on Wednesday for all those blooming trees and flowers.

A much colder beginning to April as Thursday will start with showers and high temperatures in the 40s.
