Wasn't it supposed to be sunny today? Yes it was! The cooler, less humid air that is moving this way at the leading edge of a high pressure system is a bit too cool, and not quite dry enough, to counteract the low-level moisture left over from the recent rains. That surface moisture is evaporating and then fairly quickly condensing in the atmosphere to cover the sky in gray gunky stratus clouds. There may be enough churning to produce a few sprinkles or even a snow flurry. The gray skies will keep the temperature down to the lower 40s this afternoon.
The local moisture should be wicked away by this evening, giving rise to a mostly sunny Ides of March with seasonable highs right around 50s degrees. Clear skies will be short-lived as yet another storm system makes its way up the Ohio Valley. Look for rain to start late Tuesday night and last through most of Wednesday. Wednesday should warm to the mid 50s.
Warm weather is expected to arrive by the end of the week as a ridge of high pressure builds eastward across the country. How warm? Let's try near 60 on Thursday and mid 60s on Friday. Saturday's forecast is more uncertain but it currently looks like the weekend will start off warmer than normal before cooler air arrives on Sunday.
