Warming up through Friday

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) - Happy Wednesday everyone!

Expect partly cloudy to mostly clear skies today, with highs in the upper 60s.

Thursday brings plenty of sunshine and warmer temperatures, with highs reaching the mid 70s. Warmer nights will also reduce the risk of frost and freezing conditions over the next few days.
