22 March 2024
Give yourselves a few extra minutes before heading out the door this morning. Some dense fog has developed and it will likely slow down the morning commute.
Our next front is about to move in today from the north and northwest. Moisture will be lacking as it moves through and winds will turn gusty with its passage today.
High temperatures will be cool but pleasant in the 50s and 60s.
Our next batch of moisture starts to move in tonight. Spotty showers track west to east.
With temperatures near and slightly below freezing, a rain/snow shower will be possible.
Spotty showers Saturday continue to track west to east. The day will not be a washout though.
Showers will be accompanied by some thunderstorms Sunday and it will be windy too as a potent storm system continues to swing through the region.
Later in the afternoon and evening a severe risk will develop. Please be weather aware Sunday and have more than one way to receive weather alerts.
Where it will be drier to the west and southwest with the strong winds, fire danger will be high.
Even though only one of our counties is under a high wind alert, the entire area will be gusty.
Rain switches to snow to the northwest into Sunday night. Some snow and a mix crawls across our northernmost counties through early Monday while there will be some lingering rain in the rest of the area.
The start to next week will also be chilly. Another storm system by the middle of next week brings a strong breeze and another chance for showers and storms.
