PEORIA (25News Now) - Temperatures will gradually climb over the next several days after scattered flurries and bitter cold Saturday. Sunday marks the last day of winter, and temperatures will remain cold under sunny skies. While we see warmer temperatures next week, rain will play spoiler.

Winter had it’s last laugh this weekend with colder temperatures setting in. We’ll see improvements temperature wise for Sunday, but we’ll still trend more than 10 degrees below our average daytime highs for this time of year. Expect temperatures in the mid to upper 30′s under sunny skies. Winds will shift from the north to the west throughout the day with gusts up to 15 miles per hour. Wind chill values will trend in the teens today, so keep the layers on hand.
