WINTRY WEEKEND?

A classic springtime battle between warm and cold looks to set up very late this week and weekend. Very cold air will be trying to infiltrate the country from the north while at the same time unusually warm air will not be looking to leave the stage without a fight.Click to EnlargeThe result will be a storm, somewhere.

There are also scenarios on the table in which the cold air presses the storm so far south it essentially misses us.Pay careful attention to the forecast over the next several days!
