THIS WEEK'S SPRING SETBACK WILL ALSO DELIVER HEAVY RAINS TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING.

Our cool period of weather talked about last week has arrived; a slow-moving, far-reaching storm system which is responsible for the abrupt change in temps, will be slow to clear the area through the end of the week. In fact, its influence will still exert itself with residual, albeit lesser effects through the weekend.

Most spots from NYC east and south won't see much of any rain through today and tonight. However, by late tonight into Wednesday, light to moderate rain will work into the entire region and become steady by Wednesday afternoon.

Our rain for Wednesday during the morning and through most of the day is only the beginning; by the time we approach the early evening Wednesday, most sections will have seen around an inch of rain, with the heaviest rains actually building in by Wednesday night into Thursday morning.

By Thursday, rain tapers off. Any rain Thursday through Saturday will be mainly in the afternoon in the form of passing showers. Temps will actually warm rather quickly on Thursday as a warm front switches the winds to a southerly, mild direction.
