the ski areas. first batch moving through at night and another front approaches heading towards the afternoon and chance for rain showers. and then things dry out for sunday. sunday is looking like a nice day a westerly breeze and temps again up around 50 keeping in mind average highs are in the 30s so this is well above the norm. we are looking at all tolled a early spring weekend. going up north ski areas temps near freezing on friday. snow arrives at night. and snow changes over to a couple rain showers on saturday with highs near 40 and upper 30s and pleasant for sunday at the end of the weekend. next week. the next large or significant storm on the east coast. tuesday. really begin to develop on wednesday and there's still a lot of uncertainty as to where to be. how strong will the storm be. will it be farther east or west. trend is weaker and further east today. it's something we will monitor for the next few days and there's a chance for snow in the area. right now i am not thinking it's going to be a block bust
