• Breezy, muggy, and generally cloudy Thursday with a few morning sprinkles to a stray shower possible
• Daily chances for hit-or-miss showers and storms now look more possible Friday and through the weekend
• Not a wash-out of a weekend, but keep the umbrella handy!

Wednesday (3/13)

• After patchy mist and fog Wednesday morning, skies gradually clear from west to east in the afternoon
