High HDL helps in 3 big ways. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is called "the good cholesterol" for good reason. Findings suggest that higher levels of HDL can help to decrease the risk of heart disease, stroke and Type 2 diabetes. TO RAISE YOUR HDL: EAT RIGHT, EXERCISE AND DONT SMOKE. Most importantly, ask your doctor about a simple test to determine your lipid profile.

However, we should get some sunshine later this afternoon and the temperature will likely manage to get into the lower and middle 40s. Tomorrow will end up being a somewhat mild day as well, as temperatures will climb into the upper 30s and lower 40s. The difference, though, will be the fact that another storm system is here. This one will likely be a rain maker for us tomorrow.
With temperatures in the 30s and a little cold air trying to mix into the storm system, we might see a bit of a snow and ice mix. However, it doesn't look like the snow and ice will be a big deal with the warmer temperatures. Any rain or wintry mix will end at night and we'll dry out for Friday.
