So what are we talking about in the weather center on this first day of spring? The chance of a wintry mix or light snow overnight into tomorrow morning. Another fast-moving, upper level area of low pressure will cross the region but likely only produce a light coating on mainly grassy areas.

After the disturbance passes the area, we will default to what has become our late-winter pattern. Partly cloudy skies with northwesterly winds that keep temperatures below average. This pattern will continue well into next week, if not even longer. Plus, computer models are persistently simulating the development of an east coast storm on Monday.
