March 1st, 2011 Forecast

Rain has ended in Philadelphia while continuing to the south and east of the city.  Expect rain to taper off this evening from northwest to southeast as the front slowly slides through.   Until the front crosses, temperatures will stay mild for the next few hours and winds will remain light.

After the front crosses, breezy conditions and colder temperatures will return overnight. Low temperatures by morning will range from 30 north to the mid 30's around Philadelphia and south.   Winds, once the front crosses, will be from the north and northwest at 12-20 mph with higher gusts.

Tuesday:   Sunshine and "typical" early March temperatures.  Early breezes at 10-16 mph will diminish to 5 mph in the afternoon.   Expect daytime highs in the mid and upper 40's across the region on what will amount to a pretty nice afternoon in the Delaware Valley.

We'll provide updates on the thunderstorms this afternoon and early evening, with a full recap once the activity clears altogether.
