Spring officially begins at 10:06 p.m. Tuesday but it certainly won't feel like it as cool conditions stick around through the middle of the week.
Tuesday morning will start in the 40s, and then the afternoon will only reach the mid-60s under a partly cloudy sky. We expect similar conditions for Wednesday with highs in the mid to upper 60s before warmer weather arrives for the rest of the week.
We're already tracking our first round of spring showers and storms, which are set to arrive as early as Wednesday night and should linger through Thursday morning. It won't be a situation where everyone gets rain, but areas that do experience storms could be on the strong side. The Storm Prediction Center already includes most of our KVUE area in the level 1 risk. Hail and strong winds will likely be the main concerns.
Temperatures will be warmer for late week and this weekend with highs in the mid to upper 70s. While the weekend will be dry, we expect another round of rain to move in for Monday and Tuesday of next week.
