Wind-driven rain/snow

GOOD THURSDAY MORNING, EVERYONE...

The arrival of the next winter storm system will deliver a 30% chance of rain showers through the afternoon and into the evening. Highs will be in the low to mid 40's on a very windy day. Westerly winds will ramp up to 20-25 mph, with gusts as high as 35 mph. Lows tonight will be in the 20's and we will see a 50% chance of snow by morning. Westerly winds will stay gusty, at 15-25 mph.

Mixed showers will stay in our forecast through Saturday morning, when we will start to see some partial clearing. The current Winter Storm Warning is due to be lifted at 4:00 AM Saturday, also. Temperatures will warm into the upper 40's to low 50's going into next week. By Wednesday, we are expecting to see highs in the mid 50',s under mostly sunny skies.
