MILD MARCH MADNESS

1. After tonight, temps won't dip below 40 degrees through the next 7-10 days in the metro area.  Above normal temps are likely to dominate through at least the 15th.

2. Increasing warmth each day this week, with the apex of the warmth Wednesday and again Thursday before light rain moves in. Temps to near record levels are likely for Wednesday (possibly Thursday) with partly sunny skies. Cool ocean will keep temps in the 60s near the coast for highs on Wednesday and Thursday, but still, temps will be quite warm for this time of year.

3. Thursday night, some showers move through the region, but nothing too heavy. Friday through Sunday are still warm; the next chance of rain comes Saturday night into Sunday, but there's a lot of uncertainty about timing at this point.
