even higher. temperatures across the area. and that will make this upcoming weekend probably the nicest with sunshine, the mildest weekend since what we had the second weekend of december going all the way back that far. so a lot of folks are going to be out and about in this upcoming weekend. here is the wednesday, thursday, friday, 62, around 65 degrees. mild conditions. a look at the weekend. 65, 70 degrees. easter next week this time, closer to 80 degrees. i think our chance of rain may some late monday or tuesday. we'll see the temperatures start to push higher. doesn't look as though we will have any extended period of heat coming our way but one thing is for sure. we get that pattern change, spring, spring temperatures, closer to average. and a few spring showers that will come through from time to time. of course, that also means that the pollen count may be going up. we'll be posting that online and on our storm team4 facebook page. make sure you check it out. >> thank you, v.j. anne arundel county sheriff has been charged with assaulting his wife. ut
