A wintry mix of precipitation will quickly
change to rain in the morning hours as winds begin to
turn southerly. Rain will continue throughout the day,
tapering to scattered showers in the afternoon as the low
pressure system responsible for this dreary weather moves
off the Atlantic coast. A cold front will move through
Happy Valley on Friday, providing cold, blustery
conditions and the chance of scattered flurries,
reminding us that even though the calendar says spring it
can still feel like winter.
