Lake Fever.
After today temperatures will rise into the 60's and 70's through early next week, as a warm, and drier air-mass takes over. Some lake fever may take over, as on some days the temperatures could flirt with 80.

update
Warm up a lot faster than expected. Could see some 70's today.
Watch out for some Moderate to near Major flooding along parts of the Green and Ohio Rivers. The river flooding is caused by snowmelt, and increased precipitation in February, Early March. Roads near the river, and possibly even a few structures are expected to be impacted.
