Weather

Temperatures stay unseasonably warm with lots of sunshine this weekend. Could we set a new record high? Fox 26 meteorologist Allison Gargaro has the details.

Temperatures will continue climbing into the weekend, with afternoons turning unusually warm for this time of year. Some spots could approach record highs as a late spring/early summer-like pattern settles in. It’s a great setup for a beach weekend, but stay hydrated and don’t forget sunscreen.

The spring equinox occurs Friday morning at 9:46am, officially marking the start of the new season. Right on schedule, a heat wave will begin with another sunny, warm day and a continued trend toward milder mornings and hotter afternoons heading into the weekend and beyond.
