A COOL START TO SPRING

The region will be subjected to three minor shots at rainfall in the form of showers over the next three days. 


For Wednesday, the majority of the day is sunny and warm; however, towards late afternoon, clouds move back in again. Expect light rain to develop for a few hours in the evening before ending late Wednesday night.

For St. Patrick’s Day, we will see a mix of sun and clouds with a threat of some late day and evening showers (again on the light side).

For Friday, another cold front will swing through with afternoon and evening light showers. Things dry out for Saturday and most of the day Sunday, but temps will be on the cool side, with readings holding in the mid-to-upper 40s.

A more important storm will develop along the gulf coast late in the weekend and push northward towards the Mid and North Atlantic states for Sunday night into Monday. Rain should develop Sunday afternoon, then transition to wet snow for Sunday evening into Monday. Given the time of the year and a probable southern track, snow accumulations should be quite restricted to higher elevations. However, a track further north could complicate matters and bring heavier precip into the region, particularly towards the coast; the seasonal trends suggests the former, not the latter solution, with the storm brushing us with only light accumulations. 

Another update on Friday.
