Cool Pattern Hard to Break

With high pressure still dominate across the Great Lakes, today will likely be the nicest out of the next several days.  This blocking high has kept a lot of systems from reaching the Great Lakes the past couple of days but as it slides off to the east, a cold front will move through early on Friday.  Temperatures early Friday morning are going to be near freezing so there is a possibility of a rain/snow mix during the morning hours.  However, as temperatures warm above freezing during the afternoon the precip should change over to rain before ending as a rain/snow mix Friday evening.  This pattern will be somewhat hard to break in the coming week or so as cooler air from the north will continue to move south as our jetstream, for the most part, continues on its southern track. 

Further to the south a developing low will continue to gain strength this evening and move up the east coast by this weekend.  Rain and snow showers will be likely for residents there as they greet the beginning of April.
