This Week in Marion Weather: Time to Put Away Those Jackets Yet?

If you're like me, you've probably about had it with the cold, unseasonable weather Marion has been experiencing this spring.

Well, that's all about to change.

This week's forecast is beginning to look a lot like May, and some hot – yes, you heard right – temperatures are heading our way for Tuesday. Winds will be our biggest problem earlier in the week, and it appears any chance of significant rain will stay away until later in the week.
