Mild Weather Expected for Week

But rain forecast for weekend

The spring blooms are at their peak a bit early this year, with dogwoods, azaleas and other flowers in full splendor with a week left in March. We hope the flowers can continue until April, with Easter,Β  Braves opening the season and the Masters approaching.

March's last hurrah promises to be mild, the National Weather Service says, with sunny skies and highs in the mid to high 70s. However, a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms is predicted for Saturday.

With March one of the warmest on record, WSB's David Chandley answers the question whether this will mean a warm summer.
