Winter will make a brief “encore” appearance today and Thursday, with highs only in the upper 40s/low 50s and winds gusting to 25 mph at times. Thankfully, warmer air returns Friday, and the first half of the weekend looks perfect for getting outside and getting some yard work done, with highs on Saturday soaring into the mid, perhaps even upper 70s under sunny skies before the next system arrives Sunday with showers.
