March ends on rainy note. It’s been a cooler and wetter month than average, after a much warmer February. The snow and rain has made significant positive impacts on the drought in this region. We get one good day this weekend, before more rain moves in to start the first week of April.

Rest of today – overcast, periods of rain, heavy at times due to a slow moving low pressure center. The heavier rains look to come later this evening into the overnight hours. Easterly and northeasterly winds will make it feel cooler than the high of around 40ºF.

Saturday – due to the slow pace of this storm, rain is still likely to be falling early tomorrow. High temperatures will remain well below normal due to the continued onshore easterly winds and cloud cover, only reaching the mid-40s.

Sunday – with the low pressure center finally exiting east, we should see dramatically improved conditions with highs rebounding to normal levels in the mid-50s and lots of sunshine.

Monday – starts off similar to Sunday with mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-50s. Conditions deteriorate later in the day as the next storm system starts moving in.

Average Temperatures, Above Average Precipitation to Start April

Due to the influence of several storm systems forecast to impact the area, we’re expecting normal temperatures and above average precipitation to start the month off.
