Chilly weekend gives way to chance of strong storms next week

The National Weather Service says that after record warmth earlier this week, we'll stay about ten degrees warmer than normal again on Friday.

But March comes in this weekend with at least one more brush with the polar jet stream. Thirty-mile-per-hour wind gusts will blow in temperatures about ten degrees colder than normal, from highs in the 60s Friday to the 40s on Saturday.

Sunday will also top out in the 40s, before warming to the 50s on Monday.

Next week's return to seasonal temperatures comes with the next rain chance. More gusty winds will accompany the rain all day Tuesday and into Wednesday, but with temperatures sneaking back toward 60 degrees.

The latest hazardous outlook for our region now mentions the chance that strong to severe storms could form on Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night.
