Weather Outlook

It sure was chilly this morning. I unfortunately had to use a little heat this morning. Here’s a look at the WTVA – The Weather Authority forecast for the day:

WARMING UP INTO MID-WEEKExpect mostly clear skies to start out our Tuesday with temperatures in the upper 50s to lower 60s. Throughout the day, we’ll see more sunshine with highs reaching the mid and upper 80s. We start out your Wednesday as almost a repeat, mostly clear with temperatures in the lower to mid-60s. But clouds gradually increase into Wednesday afternoon ahead of showers, which should return after sunset that night.
