Weekday warmup will melt away the snow with a return to seasonable weather

Buffalo, N.Y. (WBEN) - At long last, it's here!

After days of frigid temperatures and accumulating snow, a weekday warmup is here to remind us that it's springtime in Buffalo and Western New York.

Strong high pressure centered over eastern Quebec will provide dry weather with plenty of sunshine today. The start of the new work week will also be marked by a period of notably warmer weather. Temperatures will soar into the 50s for many areas today and Tuesday.

Temperatures Monday will reach the low to mid 50's across the region Monday, a nice rebound back to 5-10 degrees above average, National Weather Service forecasters say.

Tuesday's high temperatures will be in the 50's to possibly 60 in spots with an increasing chance of showers as the day wears on. It will remain mild, in the 50's, but damp on Wednesday.

Late week will features temperatures right around normal for the end of March, with daily highs in the mid to upper 40's and nightly lows in the upper 20's to lower 30's.

In the long range, Easter weekend looks to remain mainly seasonable and dry.
