Good morning. Vermont. I'm DJ Huzz.

Step outside right now and you'll feel 44 degrees. In early March. Yeah, you read that right.

Today's bringing the kind of warmth that makes you wonder if you accidentally time-traveled to April. Highs climb into the upper 50s and low 60s statewide. Southern Vermont tops out near 55. Central Vermont hits 60. Northeast Kingdom reaches 57. That's 22 degrees warmer than normal — the kind of heat that gets sap flowing in the sugar maples.

But here's the catch. Southwest winds pick up, gusting to 26 miles an hour in the south and 33 through central areas. The breeze takes a little edge off, but you'll still be ditching the heavy coat.

Tonight stays mild. Lows only drop to the mid to upper 30s under mostly clear skies. Light winds keep things comfortable.

Tuesday doubles down. Sunshine returns with highs climbing even higher — 59 south, 63 central, 60 northeast. Light winds make it feel like a perfect spring preview.

Here's the plot twist. Wednesday brings clouds and rain developing, highs still in the upper 50s. Wednesday night into Thursday, a strong cold front crashes through. Rain flips to snow for some areas. And temperatures nosedive. Thursday sees highs only in the low 40s before dropping to the teens overnight. Friday stays cold with a chance of snow, highs in the mid to upper 30s. The weekend brings more unsettled weather — snow likely Friday night into Saturday, then another system possible Sunday.

Enjoy the warmth while it lasts. Winter's not done with us yet.

See you this afternoon.
