FORECAST IN DETAIL
Spring is in full bloom and temperatures are pleasant this week. Things get hotter on Thursday ahead of a cold front, and then another surge of heat arrives this weekend with Mother’s Day aiming for about 90 degrees. We could definitely use some more rain — even just to clear the pollen out of the air — and we’ll get a slight chance Thursday and again late Sunday.
