February 24th, 2011 Forecast

Sunshine and fair weather have helped melt a chunk of that snow around town today.   What little snow that's left will be gone by Friday as milder air continues to nudge northward and a storm system brings rain to the region starting tomorrow night.   We'll highlight the potential for some heavier rains with this upcoming system in a post later on this evening -- it's possible we see some flooding from the storm in some parts of the region. Until then, however, a cool night and a transitional day tomorrow with early sun giving way to clouds in the afternoon.

Tonight:  For the most part, clear overnight but some high clouds will move in towards daybreak.  Expect low temperatures in the teens north of the city, around 20 in the Pine Barrens, and in the upper 20's in Center City.

Thursday:   Early sunshine gives way to increasing cloud cover.   Showers will start moving in with the first fingers of the upcoming storm system, perhaps reaching Central Pennsylvania or the western suburbs towards sunset.   Highs during the day will range from 43 north to 48 south.   Expect light rain overnight.

Later:   More information on the Friday storm.
