March 24th, 2011 Forecast

Rain, falling on our heads here but falling as snow to our north, will gradually pull away later on tonight.  The storm system responsible for this mess is going to help entrench a cool regime over the Northeast into the weekend, keeping us several degrees below average.   The good news is that we'll get a chance to dry out...it just won't be very warm.

Tonight:   Rain (mix and snow to the north of the city) continues off and on until after Midnight, with embedded thunder from Philly on south.  Most of this will pick back up again after 6 PM after a lull over the next few hours. Temperatures will bottom out tonight in the lower and mid 30's north, perhaps staying above 40 farther to the south overnight.  Winds veer around to the northwest for all on the backside of the front at 6-12 mph.

Thursday:  Breezy, lingering clouds with a shower or flurry around for parts of the region through the morning hours.   Temperatures tomorrow will top out in the mid 40's in many locations, perhaps upper 40's to the south.   Winds will gust to over 20 mph at times from the northwest, adding a bit of a chill to the atmosphere.

We'll update this mess later on this afternoon or evening.
