Casey Neuville says...

Welcome to the first full day of Spring! High pressure centered over the upper Midwest will provide for lots of sunshine today and warmer temperatures. We could even make the middle 50s Monday as warmer air surges in ahead of a cold front in the Northern Plains into Canada. That system could bring some light rain or sprinkles to our region Tuesday followed by a touch of light snow Tuesday night perhaps. Then it looks dry and a bit cooler Wednesday. Cooler conditions will stick around for the rest of the week as colder air is poised to move through. There could be a fairly strong cold front passing through around Friday with a small chance of light snow starting late Thursday and into Friday.
