Predictions:
The complete opposite weather we would like to see for spring migration continues tomorrow. Cloudy skies and a chance for showers all throughout the day. Winds from the NE, shifting to more direct N. Temps likely in the upper 40's. Maybe we'll get some pockets of drier conditions and decent visibility to search for some birds.
