The warming trend will continue into the afternoon as highs reach above 50 degrees. A few spotty showers will be around, but most hours will be dry today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Even warmer weather awaits us for the end of the week as highs reach the low 60s Friday. A weakening front will bring us some showers for the late afternoon and evening and while thunder is possible, severe weather is not expected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Saturday will be a nice, warm, dry day with even warmer air expected Sunday as temps soar into the 70s. The difference is we\u2019ll have to dodge more rain by Sunday evening as a stronger front approaches. Gusty winds are possible with that front\u2019s passage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Temperatures will turn more seasonable early next week with mainly dry conditions expected. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Make sure to check the latest forecast on Channel 11 News.
