March had its moments as part of a brutal winter in the region but its final day on Monday will be close to perfect.

Perfect, that is, if you like sunny skies with temperatures in the mid to upper sixties.

And baseball. 

The Cincinnati Reds celebrate Opening Day on Monday, playing host to the St. Louis Cardinals at Great American Ballpark. Great day for a game!

And good timing, too. Rain dominates the remainder of the seven day forecast.

So, get out and enjoy today!
