TONIGHT The quiet part of the day is over, and the evening turns much more active as showers and thunderstorms push through. Some of those storms could be strong, with damaging wind and large hail the main concerns before the line races out. After that, the air changes in a hurry, with te mperatures falling into the mid 30s by daybreak. North wind around 10 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph keeps the late night feeling raw, and a few lingering wet roads may still be around for early Monday drivers.  TOMORROW Monday feels like somebody slammed the brakes on spring. Skies turn mostly sunny, but highs only recover into the low 50s, and a north wind around 10 mph with gusts up to 20 mph keeps the afternoon cooler than the sunshine might suggest. The severe threat is gone, the heavy rain is gone, and what is left is just a noticeably crisper day that feels much more like a normal late March reset.  TOMORROW NIGHT The wind eases and the night settles down nicely, with partly cloudy skies and lows near freezing. North wind around 5 mph. There are no big travel issues here, just a cooler night that reminds you how dramatic the Sunday to Monday temperature swing really is.  TUESDAY The bounce back starts quickly. Mostly sunny skies return and temperatures climb into the mid 50s with a light south southeast wind around 5 mph. It is a much easier weather day, and after the windy Sunday and cooler Monday, Tuesday feels like the atmosphere finally starts relaxing again.  TUESDAY NIGHT Clouds increase, but the milder trend continues with lows around 40. Southeast wind around 5 mph. Most of the night stays dry, and the main message is simply that the colder air never really gets a chance to settle in for long before the next warmup begins to take over.  WEDNESDAY A real warm surge builds back in with partly sunny skies and highs in the upper 60s. South southwest wind around 5 to 10 mph. This is one of those spring turnaround days where the jacket you needed Monday afternoon suddenly feels unnecessary again, and the weather becomes much more comfortable for anything outside.  WEDNESDAY NIGHT The next unsettled stretch starts to show up late. Mostly cloudy skies hold through the evening, then a chance of rain and thunderstorms develops after midnight. Lows stay in the mid 50s with a south wind around 5 mph. The night is not a washout, but it is the first sign that another active system is lining up beyond the middle of the week.  THURSDAY Thursday looks warm again, a little breezy, and more unsettled. Highs push close to 80 with a southwest wind around 10 to 15 mph and gusts up to 25 mph. There is a chance for showers and thunderstorms, and if they develop at the right time they could add another round of springtime disruption to an otherwise very mild day.  THURSDAY NIGHT Rain remains likely, and a thunderstorm is still possible before the system gradually starts pulling away. Lows fall into the upper 30s to near 40 with a southwest wind around 10 mph turning north late, with gusts up to 20 mph. Wet roads are the main issue, and the late night turn cooler hints that another change is waiting behind this one too.  7 DAY FORECAST The week has two very different moods. Tonight is the roughest stretch, with severe storms possible before a fast cooldown takes over by Monday morning. After that, Monday is cooler and quieter, then temperatures climb steadily again through midweek, moving from the low 50s Monday into the mid 50s Tuesday, the upper 60s Wednesday, and near 80 by Thursday. Rain and storm chances return late Wednesday night into Thursday and Thursday night, so the overall pattern stays active even though there is a calmer break in the middle.  ...read more read less
