Monday will be even warmer, with highs in the mid-to-upper 40s under partly to mostly cloudy skies. There is a chance of rain shown on both the U.S. and European models, so it will be included in the forecast.

On Wednesday, a storm system will move through our area, bringing mainly rain, but there is a chance of a little wet snow mixed in as the system moves away overnight into Thursday morning. This will be the last chance of snow for meteorological winter.
