It will be a very mild morning for us after a record-setting day. Overnight lows will only fall to near 50 degrees by daybreak. Keep in mind our average afternoon high is 52°!
Our warm stretch continues into Thursday. However, a stationary front, sitting over the Tri-State, could trigger an isolated shower or downpour. Most neighborhoods won't see anything. Highs will get back to the low 70s. By midnight, there's the likelihood that the skies will be mostly clear. Check out this celestial delight of the lunar eclipse “blood moon” just before 3 a.m.,
Then, Friday could it be one of the warmest days of the week as highs climb to the mid-70s, at least. Friday night into Saturday is when things take a wet turn. We will have two rounds of rain and storms move into the area and both bring the threat of strong and possibly severe storms. The first comes in overnight Friday into Saturday morning. The timing will be important because it could mean we see some lingering rain for the St. Patrick's Day parade and festivities.
The evening round of storms will build and last overnight into early Sunday. The Storm Prediction Center currently has us at a "Slight Risk" for severe weather. This round could bring a potential flood risk as well. Rainfall will average 1"-2" with possible locally larger amounts.
