Yesterday there were some pretty chilly conditions, with temperatures only peaking in the low 50s. Throughout last evening, we experienced some gusty conditions which was no help to the cold. There was no precipitation and varying cloud cover throughout the day.

Today, temperatures are warming up significantly, with temperatures getting up to the high 70s with sunshine throughout the morning and early afternoon. The sunshine will be short-lived though, because a low pressure system will sweep through the area in the evening, bringing thunderstorms that could potentially be severe.

Tomorrow, conditions will cool back down to the 40s, a humble reminder that it’s only still March and we are still two months away from summer. Though, it will be sunny throughout the day, bouncing back from the rain and thunderstorms.
