Pretty cold around St. Patrick's Day this year. Meanwhile, unseasonably warm weather will continue for another couple of days.

We tied a record high Saturday. No record today, but records are within reach Tuesday and Wednesday.

A full supply of sunshine and warm afternoon temperatures to kick off the work week. A few rounds of showers and thunderstorms will precede the arrival of much cooler air during midweek. Wednesday will be unsettled and strong to severe storms will be possible during the second half of the day.

12:25pm: Activity to our west is rather unimpressive right now, but it'll be heading into a much more favorable environment (circled area) over the next hour or so. The atmosphere is more unstable in this area.

Feels like late May this morning. This unseasonably warm air will help fuel this afternoon's storms. 2-4pm is the main window for possible severe weather.

Stay weather aware today and make sure you have multiple ways of getting warnings. Secure any loose outdoor items. Storms will roll through (mainly between 2-4pm) and can produce strong winds and an isolated tornado. Simulated radar:

The last time we were this warm: several days before the World Series started.

A "level 2" risk for severe weather Saturday; we typically have 20-25 days per year with this designation. It's our first one of these in a while; make sure you have multiple, redundant ways of getting warnings.

Our Friday is off to another cloudy, foggy start, but some afternoon sun will boost temperatures into the mid/upper 60s today...the warmest day of the year so far.

Weekend forecast: temperatures will shoot up ahead of afternoon showers and storms Saturday. Sunday afternoon won't be as warm, but still quite mild for early March.

Thursday: Damp at times today, but it will be mild. Even warmer Friday, Saturday...but an approaching cold front can trigger showers/storms Saturday afternoon. Level 2 (out of 5) risk for severe weather is our area. Damaging winds the #1 concern. Window is probably something like 1pm-6pm.

It's the only day of the year that's a command, and fog (and a passing shower in southern areas) will give way to some intervals of sun and mild temperatures this afternoon.

It'll get more and more May-like over the next few days and a cold front is on track to approach on Saturday. The first chance for heavy, gusty storms of the young spring season is on the way.

8:03am Tuesday: A pretty clammy morning out there with light rain and temperatures near 32. We'll see temperatures continue to rise above freezing and into the 40s today. After a midday/afternoon lull, raindrops should return to many areas later today.

Hourly rain chances Tuesday. Some elevated surfaces may get a glaze of ice before daybreak; use caution.

Our forecast for Saturday is now 75, which would tie the daily record high and is a temperature more typical of late May.
