High pressure will remain over our area through this afternoon. This will keep skies sunny and we should see warmer highs in the mid to upper 50s. Winds will be light out of the southwest. One last night below freezing looks possible for most of us as lows dip into the upper 20s tonight into Thursday morning.

Highs begin to moderate by Thursday afternoon reaching the low to mid-60s. Mostly sunny skies are expected during the day.
