The Old Farmer's Almanac, which has been in business since 1792, recently released its spring weather forecast. The outlook? "Warmer-than-normal temperatures for most of the country, with a few exceptions: southern and central California, Desert Southwest, southern Florida, and western Ohio Valley, where it will be near to below normal."

Some showers and storms will remain possible Thursday evening. The chance of seeing strong storms is low, but not zero and would mainly produce strong winds. Rain will end from west to east and most of it should depart by Friday morning.

Another cold morning with areas of patchy fog and frost followed by another sunny and pleasant afternoon, but rain and snow are expected to arrive on Friday and continue through the weekend.
