The severe weather threat has since ended in our area.
According to the 3News Weather Team, we turn cooler tonight with lingering showers. That's how we'll spend much of our Friday with leftover showers and clouds giving way to some clearing late in the day. Highs will be cooler with temps struggling to get out of the 40s.
As we fast forward to St. Patrick's Day weekend -- Saturday looks great. St. Patrick's Day Sunday...not so great, but not terrible.
