Last week's subzero temperatures are being in the left in the dust by the warm burst of weather starting tomorrow for Michiana. Temperatures will climb close to 40 tomorrow but won't make it there yet. Cloudy skies for all of Sunday will prevent sunlight from hitting the surface and rewarming the air above it, leaving us just out of that 40-degree range. Monday, however, is a different story. Partly cloudy skies will help Michiana hit the low 40s for first time in February this year. Tuesday will continue the warming trend into the mid 40s, although a few scattered showers are likely around the area.
