While spring may be only 25 days away, Baltimoreans were out and about Thursday, enjoying unseasonably warm, record-breaking temperatures across the region.

The high was 79 degrees, breaking the record for this day set in 1874.

Before temperatures return to normal Thursday night and ahead of the weekend, Baltimoreans got a little taste of the upcoming spring season.

Here are some photos capturing the beautiful day:
