Today we had our warmest day of April so far. That’s a good sign the day was nice and a sign that this April hasn’t been too friendly. Highs in the mid- and upper 60s were a bit above normal. A rarity of late, but these temperatures will become more common as the days go by. We warm up more on Tuesday.

       Through tonight: Clouds increase, and there could be a quick shower. It won’t amount to much, if so. With that cloud blanket overhead, temperatures will be milder, or mainly in a near-50-to-mid-50s range for lows.
