Good morning! There are some showers on the radar this morning. Spotty showers are possible today and Friday. Nothing widespread or heavy. Meanwhile, our amazing Winter Thaw will continue at least through the weekend. We should be near 80 Friday. Lower 80’s Saturday would be a record. Even Sunday should be near 80. More widely scattered showers are possible Sunday Monday. Showers and storms will become likely by Tuesday and Tuesday night. Here’s my video forecast discussion.
