Rain event March 22 & 23rd?

It's too early to pinpoint, but the medium range forecast modles have been consistent with the possibility of a mostly rain event around March 22nd & 23rd.

The bottom line is, the atmosphere appears to have made the transition from winter to spring. It's going to feel more like spring than winter around here for most of the next two weeks!

I'm off through Monday. Have a great weekend! See you again Tuesday.
