Highs today were in the middle 50s and by tomorrow we will be exceeding 65 away from the beach in many areas. 

Now, mild/warm temps are all relative.  I know for many, it isn’t mild or warm until the afternoon high is above 65.  In this case though, anything near the seasonal average is mild due to the extremely cold weather over the past two weeks.  The seasonal averages are in the upper 50s, and that will be a pretty good ballpark over the next week.  Some days warmer, some days possibly a touch cooler.  Highs will be in the 60s over the weekend as it stands right now with lows near 50 by Sunday morning.  We will likely see a little bit of a cool down Monday and Tuesday with highs a degree or two either side of 55.  There are some indications that a cold air damming event could develop briefly Monday and Tuesday, but for now, we will just watch the trends and leave the forecast alone.  I think 60s are a pretty good bet by the middle of next week if current trends verify.  Now I know middle 50s to lower 60s aren’t incredibly warm, but I’ll take it after what we just came out of.

We also appear to be headed to a more active pattern for a week or two.  The trends kind of remind me of December as we head through the next couple of weeks.  I think our rainfall will be at or above seasonal averages.  The storm headed our way over the weekend could be a doozy.  I think a couple of inches of rain are easily attainable Saturday afternoon through Sunday.  The wind could become quite gusty as well, especially at the coast.  We should be dry Monday through Wednesday with another storm approaching by the end of next week.
