DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 19-23)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Winter’s final hours are counted down today, leading up to the arrival of spring with the occurrence of the vernal equinox at 11:06 p.m. tonight. However, we are not done talking about the possibility of winter weather, which is never unusual in the spring, even if we’ve hardly had a winter. First, a dry day is in store today with a gusty westerly breeze and a sun\/cloud mix as we remain under the influence of the pressure gradient between low pressure to our northeast and high pressure to our southwest. The high slides by tonight and a new low pressure area from the west approaches on Wednesday. This system will pass through the region Wednesday night. It is during the afternoon and night time hours that we can see showers, mainly in the form of rain during the afternoon, but switching to snow showers as colder air arrives from west to east at night. Fair and chilly weather is expected for Thursday and most of Friday, with sunshine dominate on Thursday and clouds arriving Friday ahead of our next storm system. This one brings a combination of rain and snow to the region Saturday, but the details of the rain vs. snow and exact timing still need to be fine-tuned. Either way, it looks like a stormy start to the first weekend of spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
