some locations. hour by hour here today plenty of sunshine for you, i think the winds become more on the breezy side widespread for the afternoon hours the. but not a lot of problem weather wise. this particular break down hour by hour doesn't show you all of it. a little bit of wrap around moisture, a cold front for your friday and we have rain chances hovering close to home. let's take a look at the opportunities for any evening st. patrick's day plans. we're going to see a quick little green dot here or there late into the evening hours but that's it. that's that stray sprinkle i'm talking about so it shouldn't be impacting your plans. now, for tomorrow driving we may notice a little activity in the overnight hours and early on the east side especially. now, we may see additional rain opportunities as well but this particular model

east side especially ashtabula has that best chance of rain and snow and as we warm up the temperatures we start to see the rain chance a little better for the afternoon on friday but your rain chances not impressive when it comes to numbers. there's that little bit towards mansfield. now, you heard me say snow even that chance for tomorrow, again that rain snow mix on the east side doesn't amount to much but that's not our only snow chance. snow sunday into monday and that's when we start to see a little bit show up more widespread but even then it's a half of an inch to inch we're not talking a lot but because spring starts on sunday you don't want to hear the word snow. so let's go back and talk with st. patrick's day for you. 57 your daytime high for the afternoon. i think you'll still have plenty of sun but it will be breezy. overnight tonight we drop back down into the lower 40s but even for evening plans 46 degrees
