We are in the final hours of winter because Spring, or Vernal Equinox, occurs tonight at 11:06pm. Not that it feels like it! We'll have a cold front pass through the Tri-State, but it comes with no increase in clouds or precipitation. We'll drop to the mid 30s by daybreak, so the big deal is the change in winds to the northwest.

Wednesday will be another breezy day with northwest winds at 10 to 20 mph, gusting to 25. Nevertheless, highs on Wednesday will range from the upper 40s in SE Indiana to the low to mid 50s around Greater Cincinnati. Thursday will be a chilly one. The morning low will be around 25° and we only see a highs in the mid 40s, that about 10 ° colder than average. The wind will finally by light, from the northeast at 5 mph, and the sky partly cloudy.

Friday looks to be a rain day with temps in the low 50s before we clear out for the weekend. Highs will start cold on Saturday only in the upper 40s before returning a more seasonal mid 50s on Sunday. Finally, we are only 9 days out from the Reds Opening Day on March 28th!
