KERI forecast for 12/1/2011

The forecast for Thursday looks to be much calmer as the system that brought rain and snow to the area the past two days exits the region. With this, expect highs to be in the lower to mid 40's with mostly sunny skies along with some breezy conditions during the afternoon and evening. The next shot at precipitation comes Friday with a slight chance of snow.
