Keep that umbrella nearby for the morning commute, although a lot of dry space on the map, as a warm front lift across the state. This afternoon will bring windy cond itions, plenty of dry hours and a huge rise in temperatures. Highs this afternoon will reach the upper 70s, with wind gusts of up to 50 mph.
