Forecast Discussion

A potent storm system is taking shape the next couple of days with impacts from Texas to New England. We're gonna dodge the March Lion in terms of nastiness, but we do have a rather impressive show now through Thursday night.

Today's warmth spills into the evening. Rain arrives tonight, and a cold front comes through early Thursday morning with cold air slowly spilling through the mountains around sunrise. Daytime high temperatures are set first thing in the morning and fall thereafter, it will be breezy. However, warmer air aloft will hold on through much of the day. Rain will try to slowly transition to freezing rain, (maybe some sleet), but with antecedent warm ground temperatures that may be tough to accomplish. The event is over by the evening with clearing skies and a much colder night.

Friday is sunny and cold. Saturday through early next week several migrating areas of high pressure allow for moderating temperatures and lots of sunshine. Nights stay chilly, but daytime highs rebound to slightly above normal.
