Saturday's chill begins to vanish today (Sunday). A large area of high pressure sprawling just off the East Coast will turn light breezes around out of the south, opening the door to warmer air. After morning lows near the 30ยบ mark, local thermometers at Mecklenburg County sites will bump up into the low 60s this afternoon.
The work week will continue that warming trend, with afternoon highs topping out in the 70s Monday and even the 80s by Tuesday. Another cold front will approach the area midweek, but this one won't have quite the same vigor as the last several have. It looks to stall out across Virginia before retreating back north as a warm front late in the week, allowing the 70s and 80s to stick around.
The result of that stalling boundary will be chances of showers each day from Wednesday into the weekend. No day looks like a washout, and precipitation totals will be light. However, there is hope for some longer term improvement in the drought conditions as indicated on this NOAA graphic, which is for mid-March through the end of June:
Happy Palm Sunday!
