It’s simply going to be a cold St. Patrick’s Day with highs only in the low-mid 30s, about 25-degrees below normal. Partly sunny with a lighter wind from the west at 10-15 mph.
A little clipper system will bring back a batch of snow showers late overnight into Wednesday morning. A dusting possible. Drying out Wednesday afternoon with highs near 50°.
Another little system will bring some light rain on Thursday – mainly late morning into the afternoon. Less than a quarter inch of rain. Highs head back to the lower 60s.
Our spring season officially begins Friday morning and we’ll be heading up to around 70° Friday afternoon. This will lead us to a warm weekend in the 70s. Most of our weekend will be dry, but we’ll need to watch out for another round of thunderstorms developing late Sunday.
Today’s weather history, countdown, and jokes.
