Forecast Discussion
Mother Nature, in an effort to avoid inevitable pinching, has decided to wear green today. Unfortunately, it’s all over our radar screens, meaning we do not have the Luck of the Irish.

A system sticking around for the day today is throwing a little bit of rain our way. By no means will it rain all day but the models are hinting at scattered showers moving through during the day today, nothing major. The only thing is that the air remains dry outside, a few of those rain showers will have to fall first and evaporate thus raising the atmospheric moisture level before the rain will reach the surface.
Those pesky rain showers should keep sticking around before finally moving out overnight.
As for temperatures today, thanks to the somewhat warmer surge out ahead of it, we’ll be well into the 50s today. Still below average but much closer than yesterday.
Once the system passes on by, we’re looking at absolutely fantastic weather for the weekend.
Our winds will shift around to the northwest after the front associated with today’s rain passes on by but that’s not really going to lower our temperatures so much as dry us out again. Highs as the clouds clear on Saturday look to approach the 60ºF mark, or as we like to call that “average for March.” The only issue is the breeziness on the backside of that front.
Since the air behind the front is so dry, our temperatures will have no problem dropping like a rock under mostly clear skies tomorrow night. It’s likely they’ll be in the 30s, whether they drop below freezing is still no guarantee.
The day on Sunday looks, well, just like Saturday. Except with even fewer clouds.
Again, those temperatures may be running a tad cool, but they’re much better than we’ve had over the past few days.
Today’s Key Points
- Cooler today with off and on rain chances.
- Not an all day rain by any means but showers will be around today, clearing out late tonight.
- Saturday will be breezy but temperatures will warm up, approaching average for this time of year with sunny skies.
- Sunday looks to be the exact same as Saturday.
