 +----------------------------------------------

Air temperatures soared into the 40s and 50s yesterday helping to melt a lot of snow exposing the ugly shades of brown that had been hidden for the past month.  Warm conditions will continue for the rest of this week until a very powerful storm system arrives just in time for the weekend.  At this point, all forms of severe summer and winter weather are possible.
