After a few days of cold weather and snow, yesterday brought the area some warm weather making it feel like spring. These warm temperatures will continue for the rest of this week. A low pressure system will move in from the west Friday and into Saturday. This low pressure system will bring the region rain late on Friday and much of Saturday. There is a chance for a thunderstorm to come out of this system. The low pressure system will bring a cold front through the area dropping temperatures into the 50s once again.
