Discussion
Low pressure will pass by to our north today and drag a frontal system through the region likely generating scattered showers, maybe even an isolated PM thunderstorm. It turns slightly cooler for the weekend, but still warmer-than-normal for the middle of March and there will be plenty of sunshine on both days. Sunday will feature quite a breeze as well ahead of the next front. A noticeably colder air mass pushes into the region by early next week and it will limit daily highs to the 40’s from Monday through Wednesday and overnight low temperatures can drop to below freezing.
