There will be a front near us over the next 48 hours. We should see some scattered showers and thunderstorms along the front. Not everyone will see rain - but there will be some around.

Don't forget we have new city radars up and running on the site! You can find those by clicking here. Once you click on a radar then it will bring up a carousal of all the radars (you can move back and forth - left to right and view your options - pick the one you would like to view).

Warmer weather arrives on Thursday and Friday!  Seventies will be common across the area.  This coupled with plenty of sunshine will provide some of the best weather conditions we have seen in quite some time.

There is a small chance for a thunderstorms on Friday evening and again on Saturday evening and Sunday morning.

The next storm system will approach the area on Monday night into Tuesday night.  I will keep an eye on the system - right now it appears the risk for severe weather is low.  

I am more concerned about next weekends storm system - around March 26th-28th.  We will need to keep a careful eye on that system.  Plenty of time to monitor!
