It's a heat wave, folks! We're rocketing past 20, 25, and 30 degrees. In fact, we're due to pass freezing for the first time in...well, we forget what that's like, frankly. We're told it's the warmest it's been since that tropical Christmas almost three weeks ago. Along with the sun and warmth (and yes, we're calling it warmth, season be damned) there will be some gusty winds about. Skies are clear tonight as lows will range from the upper teens to lower 20s. And rejoice, because the warmer temps look to be in place over at least the next couple of days with jumps into the 40s possible.
