An unseasonably cold one is on tap through the overnight. With winds diminishing to 10 mph to 15 mph, along with temperatures dropping to the 20s, it will feel like the teens overnight through Wednesday morning. A few clouds will remain in the sky, but overall it will remain quiet.
Wednesday is the coldest day of this week, with high temperatures only topping out in the mid- to upper 30s. However, the temperatures will get milder as the rest of the week progresses. By Friday, the daytime highs will be getting into the low 50s.
There is a small disturbance that will move through the region late Thursday night into early Friday morning, which brings the chance for rain and snow showers. This will be a very brief period of precipitation, and we are not expecting snow accumulations. This system will exit well before sunrise on Friday morning.
Spring officially arrives this Friday at 10:46 a.m., when the Vernal Equinox occurs. Spring showers move in for the late-day hours.
Spring's first weekend will be a bit milder. However, it will be unsettled as there are a few spotty rain chances in the forecast. Temperatures will remain in the 50s and even warm to near 60 degrees by Sunday. However, the chance for rain on both days does exist, even though the question of when remains up in the air for now.
