Today will be another winter-like day with lots of clouds, areas of rain & snow, and temperatures stuck in the 30s to around 40°. Any snow accumulation will be light, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a few areas with an inch or two. The sun comes back out tomorrow and we warm up nicely.

Happy Good Friday! We will have a chance for a few showers and storms around later Friday afternoon and night, but they will be hit-n-miss at best. Otherwise, it will be a mostly cloudy and mild day Friday with highs in the lower 70s. The wind will shift from the northwest to the southeast and blow around 5 to 15 mph.
