Today is the first day of spring.
Not that Monday gave any indication, what with a high temperature that felt more like a prelude to fall, followed by a nighttime temperature that danced with the freezing mark. Sunny to partly cloudy skies are predicted across the Big Country today through the weekend. High temperatures are forecast to be in the 60s today and warming into the 80s by Thursday. A cooling into the 70s is expected Friday. Later in the new season, Mother Nature will turn up the heat, crash around some thunder and throw down a little lightning to give the Big Country a real taste of springtime.
