Spring is here. Well, at least it feels like it. The official first day of spring isn't until Tuesday, March 19, but these warm temps are a great appetizer.

While exact weather conditions typically can’t be predicted more than a week in advance, here’s a seasonal outlook to help you prepare for what spring will bring.
