Rain, rain, go away.
After several days of either showers or frigid temperatures, Sunday felt spring-like and warmer than average.
And after a cloudy morning, things cleared out and warmed up Sunday afternoon. That’s more than 10 degrees above average for Dec. 2, according to Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Brian Monahan.
Temps are very warm this morning -- and we'll be near record highs today.

It doesn't last! By Tuesday and Wednesday, we'll be back down in the 40s for highs.

Monday is expected to be comfortable, with a high in the mid-60s and mostly sunny skies, Monahan said.
Then, things get a little chillier, he said. Temperature Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to reach the upper 40s with lows in the 30s. The silver lining? It’s forecast to be mostly sunny.
Check out these forecast high temperatures on your Sunday! They'll feel especially nice with a clearing sky in the afternoon. (Spoiler alert: Reverse ATL's high of 74° and you get my forecast high for Wednesday...) pic.twitter.com/pfW6wJoqYY
