That increasingly strong March sun gets to play with warmth in the days ahead. Sixties are on the way tomorrow. Seventies for Sunday. Be on the lookout for bursting magnolias and other early bloomers.

       Sunday: Clouds may win out on average, but we seem to trend from mostly cloudy early toward partly cloudy in the afternoon. A couple of showers may roam as well. Not a big deal, if so. There’s another big jump in high temperatures, this time into the mid-70s. You’ll feel some humidity as strong winds from the southwest blow around 10 to 20 mph, gusting past 35 mph at times.

       Similar conditions persist into Monday out ahead of the next front.
