Thursday, while still quite breezy, is forecast to be a mostly sunny day. Temperatures, which will continue to be below average on Wednesday, are expected to rise. From Friday to Sunday, indications are that it will be very sunny with gentle breezes and temperatures climbing into the 20s. So, spring looks as if it will be returning - or should that be starting.
