4Warn Weather – Happy Friday and St. Patrick’s Day!
Clouds have rolled into the region, and we are looking at a soggy end of the week with rain showers continuing for most.
As an area of low-pressure and a cold front rolls through the region, rain will continue for the first half of the day Friday. Then, colder air will start to work into the region early this afternoon as that cold front moves through.
Temperatures will fall through the afternoon and into the early evening hours. High temperatures in the upper 40s will give way the temperatures in the lower 40s and upper 30s by the late this afternoon/evening.
Winds will be gusty throughout the day, with wind gusts as high as 35 mph expected.
Snowy Saturday
Behind that cold front, snow showers are likely on Saturday.
We’ll have on-and-off snow showers throughout the day. We could see a light accumulation of snow in places that see repeated rounds of snow showers throughout the day, potentially up to 1 inch.
High temperatures will stay colder Saturday, only making it into the middle 30s by the afternoon. Gusty winds will continue. Expect gusts as high as 35 mph for much of the day.
