Good afternoon, folks. Temps are spiking and the snow is starting to melt. That melt coincides with a round of heavy rain blowing in here overnight and Sunday, leading to an increased potential for, at least, local flooding issues. To maker matters worse, temps tank late Sunday with the potential for a quick freeze up Sunday night.
The models continue to advertise a widespread 1″-2″ rain tonight and Sunday and most of this falls within a 12 hour period…

We know this last storm was a memorable one, but there’s a good chance this was just the beginning of what turns into a prolonged, harsh winter pattern.
I may drop by for another update later today. Until then, here are your radars to track the increase in rain and some thunder…
Have a great day and take care.
