Good evening! Currently partly cloudy with occasional thunderstorms rolling through and mercury wise it’s 56 degrees with a 9 mph west-northwest wind. We are down a few degrees from the high of 59 degrees, which is still quite mild for mid March.

Tonight the sun will set at 7:05 pm with darkness around 7:33 pm, which is 1 minutes and 10 seconds later than yesterday. In four weeks on April 14 the sun will be setting at 7:37 pm, which is 32 minutes later then today. Not coming home to darkness in the evenings sure is nice.

Tonight we have a Waxing Gibbous Moon with 60% illuminated. It will set at 2:13 am. March’s Full Worm Moon is going to be on Tuesday. It should warm up a bit and be clear for it if the full moon.

Continued scattered showers and thunderstorms throughout the region tonight. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 37. West wind 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. Tonight will be about 11 degrees above normal. The record low of -8 degrees was set back in 1900.

After the cool down tonight, we will have temperatures that are more seasonable if not even a bit below average. Every day will get at least to the upper 30s and lower 40s but averages now are heading into the upper 40s for highs.

Looking ahead to the weekend cool but sunny conditions will prevail. Saturday will be sunny, with a high near 37. Northwest wind 7 to 9 mph. Saturday night will be mostly clear, with a low around 21. Sunday will have a chance of snow after 2pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 36. Chance of precipitation is 40%. We will have to watch the forecast for Sunday night but my call is that it will be no more than a few inches of wet sloppy snow, if even that. I expect the roads to be fine by mid Monday morning and any snow to melt away by mid-day. I’m unconcerned with the potential snowstorm forecasts, I’m not seeing the cold or the energy to make it happen.

Feeling better this evening. A little achy but I think that has more about sitting at the desk all day. I will make sure to get out and do some walking this evening.

I hope your Thursday is going well. Have a great evening!
