Today (Sunday): After a very chilly start in the teens to low 20s, mostly sunny skies should warm us to the mid-40s for afternoon highs. A slowly building afternoon breeze, with some gusts from the south around 20 mph, is a double-edged sword, as it helps to bring in that milder air but also keeps wind chills in the 30s to near 40. Confidence: Medium-High

A look ahead
Clouds and rain chances are around for Tuesday and Wednesday. Warm 60s for high temperatures are likely, maybe even in the upper 60s to near 70 on Wednesday. We may also experience a rumble or two of thunder along with the slightest hint of mugginess, before a cold front temporarily dries us out at some point on Wednesday. Confidence: Medium
