NOTTINGHAM, MD—Spring isn’t here quite yet, but it may feel like it later this week.

The National Weather Service says that the Mid-Atlantic states will see a big warm-up this week.

High temperatures will climb upward each day in the Baltimore area, peaking at right around 70 degrees on both Thursday and Friday.

The Brood X 17-year cicadas are expected to return in mid-May this year, however they will emerge as soon as the soil temperature 8 inches underground reaches 64 degrees.

Will this brief warm-up trigger an early appearance?

Only time will tell.
