A sunny and mild start to the work week.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB/WSHM) - After a mainly cloudy and cool weekend milder air is moving in for the start of the work week and temperatures will remain above normal for much of the week.

Ridging is expected to begin building back into the region today and skies will become mostly sunny as temperatures begin trending warmer toward mid-week. Temperatures this afternoon will reach the upper 50s and low 60s with sunny skies until a warm front late Monday evening arrives, bringing scattered showers into the area. Tuesday sees morning showers as our next frontal boundary exits as temps remain warm, knocking on the door of 70 degrees as Tuesday afternoon sees more sun returning. The key on how warm it gets depends on how much clearing can occur after the early showers.

Wednesday remains warm and dry as temperatures remain mild into the mid 60s. A few rounds of showers work their way into the picture Thursday & Friday as temperatures dance near 70.

The Easter Holiday weekend looks to start of dry, but there could be a system to track as we head towards Easter. I included the chance for a few showers with highs around 60. It is a week out so a lot can change. Check back thorough the week for updates.
