       Days like this might be the downside of spring, although you know what they say about (almost) April showers. Temperatures have so far climbed into the mid-50s. They’ll continue to rise this evening as a storm system passes to our west. While it’s possible we’ll see more sunshine tomorrow than today, it may still be fleeting.

       Through tonight: Additional waves of showers — perhaps a storm, which could be strong — pass this evening and tonight. The heaviest activity is probably focused before midnight, and it’ll be somewhat hit or miss. Temperatures tonight go the wrong way, with readings rising toward and beyond 60 late. Winds from the south gust to around 25 mph.

       Tomorrow (Thursday): We’ll see a lot of clouds once again. Showers and perhaps a couple storms are possible. The best odds of that should tend to be south and east of the city. Hopefully things will be drying with time, as temperatures rise to around 70 on a south wind.
