Gone is the sun. Gone is the warmth. Gone is all about spring we hold dear. In its place? The kind of weather we're used to seeing this time of year. It's a damp, dark, dank, dreary morning and it promises to be much of the same the rest of the day. Rain will come and go at time and some places could see an inch or two of rain. It'll be breezy and high temps shouldn't get much higher than they are now, in the upper 40s. Overnight, the rain continues and at least one forecast mentions a brief mix with snow as lows drop into the upper 30s. But if there's a silver lining to all these clouds, it's that this weekend is looking pretty dang good.
