[ Thursday, Mar. 27, 2003 ]
HA cold front passed through the region yesterday, dropping the temperatures slighty. Thursday and Friday will continue to be spring like and mainly uneventful. There is a chance of showers Friday evening. As a cold front approaches Saturday, there is a chance for a thunderstorm. This cold front will usher in much colder air reminding us of the days in late February. Expect rain much of the time on Saturday but this could change over to snow on Sunday. The first part of next week looks to be fair with below normal temperatures.
