FRIDAY MARCH 31, 2017 6:00 A.M.
We have cloudy skies early on this Friday morning, some light rain is occurring in parts of the area with inland areas having some sleet and freezing rain, temperatures range from the upper 30s in the Clifton area to the low 30s further inland, winds are light.
Low pressure will move from the midwest to Virginia by tonight, after a short break in the rain around daybreak rain will then return by later this morning and become heavy at times this afternoon and tonight, rainfall amounts will be around 2 inches. Inland sleet and freezing rain will mix with the rain this morning and again tonight especially over higher elevations. Winds across the area will pick up from the east making today a quite a miserable weather day.
Overcast skies along with some showers on Saturday, temperatures will be chilly again.
Sunday will be a rather nice spring day with plenty of sunshine and milder temperatures.
Another low pressure area will cause more rain Monday night into Tuesday but it will not be as chilly as today.
Fair weather is expected for Wednesday but another low pressure area may give us more rain toward the end of next week with seasonably mild temperatures.
