At last, the long-promised warm-up is here! Under sunny skies, we'll see temps soar into the upper 30s and possibly touch 40 in some spots, so look out for the melting mounds of snow. As night descends, temps won't budge very much, remaining in the upper 30s as clouds and fog roll in. There's even a chance of some drizzle after midnight. One caveat: it'll be pretty windy. Still, taking a glance at the extended forecast, we can't help but have our spirits buoyed by the warmer temperatures that await us.
