We have a storm in the central Plains; there will be blizzard conditions on the northern side and a severe weather risk across Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana into Ohio.  

Out ahead of all of this, today will be dry with a breezy southern flow, bringing very mild temperatures. High pressure overhead means there will be plenty of sunshine.  

 

As the low in the Plains heads into the Great Lakes clouds will increase tonight into Thursday. Winds will be increasing during today. And the strong breeze will last through the overnight, along with these mild conditions.

The vernal equinox officially begins at 5:01 AM Thursday.

As low-pressure slides into the Great Lakes, the attached cold front will be approaching Thursday morning with scattered moving into western Pennsylvania and western New York State. These hit and miss showers will work their way east, reaching western New England and the mid Atlantic late in the day into the evening. Rain will be moderate to heavy at times.  A secondary area of low pressure will develop Thursday over the Middle Atlantic, This will increase the risk for isolated thunderstorms across southeast Pennsylvania Maryland and Delaware, severe weather is unlikely, but a few cells could be strong, this area of low pressure will be moving into the Gulf of Maine on Friday

As colder air slides in behind the front, rain will change over to some snow, there could be a few wet snowflakes across the region, but little if any snow accumulation is expected. There could be a few flurries for the Poconos and Catskills with light accumulations possible. Northern New York State and Northern into Central New England could see a dusting to a couple of inches, with the higher elevations of the Tug Hill, Adirondacks, Greens into the Berkshires along with the Whites could see higher amounts adding up to a few inches.  Those with the best chance of seeing any snow accumulation will be 500 feet and above.

Friday into Saturday will be rather cool, with a breeze. A weak area of low pressure with a cold front will move across the region on Saturday, with the cold front there will be widely scattered rain/snow showers. Sunday will see high pressure back overhead, so we should be dry and sunny.  Monday will see another system roll through bringing rain and northern snow showers.
