Discussion
It remains windy and chilly today in the wake of a secondary cold frontal passage on Thursday afternoon with gusts of 30+ mph on the table. A weak system will pass by tonight and it can produce a few rain and/or snow showers, but nothing significant. Widespread warming across the middle of the nation will spread east next week and it’ll produce “spring-fever alert” type weather here with high temperatures likely in the 70’s by mid-week. One final note, it is time this weekend to turn the clocks ahead an hour to switch back to Daylight Savings Time.
