Today's Weather: Drencher

Oh sure, today looks nice at first. Partly cloudy skies, warmer temps, melting snow...you might almost mistaken it for spring. And, in a way, it will be, but not in the way we'd hoped. Today is going to be a drencher. If you left the house without an umbrella, you might want to hit your nearest Walgreens or CVS on your lunch break for one of there $15 umbrellas that work great once or twice before self-destructing. While highs will reach the upper 40s to near 50, rain will be the main story in the afternoon as we could see some heavy downpours as well as a few rumbles of thunder. The rain will continue into the evening when it'll allegedly trickle to a drizzle and then, overnight, change to snow showers as temps drop into the upper 20s. Oh, and it's going to be windy this evening, too, so those cheap quick-buy umbrellas will get a work out.
