Typical early spring

.A typical early spring pattern has taken shape as the cold does not want to leave but the warmth want in. The battle usually involved long periods of damp and cool weather with breaks in between. This will be a perfect example of what I expect to continue right into the middle part of april to early may. This pattern will weaken as we progress through the spring months.

Periods of rain will continue through monday. Temperatures will range from the mid to upper 30s north and upper 30s to low 40s south. Freezing rain will likly mix in the equation both nights for some.
Tuesday and wednesday look like good spring days before our next extended period of showers and periodic rains affect the region again thursday into next weekend.
