Good Morning! Today is the Last Day of Winter. But, today will resemble a day in mid-winter. We have a Freeze Warning this morning and another freeze warning tonight. In fact, we could be very close to yet another freeze by Tuesday dawn. Today’s highs will be ridiculous for this late in the season. Spring begins Monday with lows in the 20’s and highs in the 50’s. But, hang on, because we’ll back in the 70’s by Wednesday and into the 80’s on Thursday. Next storm system is on Friday.

NEXT FEW DAYS: Monday will be a COLD first day of Spring. After that sub-freezing start, we’ll in the 50’s for a high. And, we’ll be very CLOSE to another freeze by Dawn Tuesday. We’ll rebound to the 60’s Tuesday, 70’s Wednesday and 80’s Thursday. The next storm system arrives Friday.
