The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Kara James: Tonight will be mostly cloudy and chilly, with lows around 30. A wave of snow and freezing drizzle is likely in the early morning before the morning commute, so there will be some slick spots on the roads. A few raindrops later in the day are possible too, but the second half of the day should be dry with temperatures close to average for this time of year (mid 40s). Thursday is also the start of warmer and quieter weather. This happens just in time for the official start to Spring on Friday! It's what we call the vernal equinox and officially arrives at 10:46 A.M.. It's the exact time the sun is directly overhead of the equator. It also marks the start of Fall for the southern hemisphere. Temperatures warm into the 50s Friday and Saturday before a cold front Sunday brings the chance for wintry mix, and falling temperatures. There are no major weather systems on the horizon.
