This system will move out tomorrow afternoon and could leave behind a few flurries into the evening. Clouds clear out in the late morning Monday and will lead to sunny skies once again. It will be a bit cooler, however seasonable for St. Patrick’s Day. Dry conditions last into Wednesday afternoon.
The next disturbance arrives Wednesday evening and will bring some showers back into the area. We will see cooler temperatures on Thursday, the first day of Spring. Now, I cannot believe I am about to say this, but here it goes…We have a chance of seeing a rain and snow mix. Yes, SNOW! No accumulation is expected but we could see some snowflakes to bring in the new season.
Beyond that, we are mostly dry heading into next weekend.
