The cold is behind us as we look ahead to 40s, 50s and 60s in the coming days.
Winds will turn to the southwest and gust to near 30 mph Tuesday to oust the cold. Sun blends with clouds too. While widespread 50s seem out of reach, a couple of towns or cities may hit the 50-degree mark. Wednesday has a better chance to hit the mid and upper 50s as the rain moves in by late evening.
