After a chilly start to the week, temperatures are expected to gradually warm up across the region, with highs reaching the mid-to-upper 40s Fahrenheit by the end of the week and potentially approaching 60F by next Sunday.

Why it matters

The warming trend is welcome news for residents after a cold start to March, though the lingering snow cover could still offset the warmth to some degree. The warmer weather will provide a boost to outdoor activities and help melt remaining winter snow.

The details

Some light rain or freezing rain is possible Monday night into early Tuesday. Temperatures will continue to warm, with highs in the low-to-mid 40s on Tuesday and reaching the mid-40s on Wednesday.
