St. Patrick's Day Weather, Detailed for Dublin Sister-Cities
Are you one of the many people across the nation wearing green today to celebrate St. Patrick's Day? For those that are and who are planning to attend festivities for the holiday, the weather across much of the nation will not interfere.
Mother Nature must want to get in on the celebrations today, since some rain will keep a display of green on the radar across the South. The periods of rain will be most numerous over northern Florida and southern Georgia.

Dry and mild weather will prevail from the Southwest to the Northeast. The flood-ravaged Midwest will welcome the dry conditions, but warmer air will lead to more snowmelt and flooding problems.
Cooler air will press into the nation's northwest corner. A few showers will dot western Washington and the interior mountains.
In the spirit of the holiday, below is a more detailed St. Patrick's Day forecast for the sister-cities of Dublin, Ireland.
--Dublin, Calif.: Sunshine mixing with clouds. High 68.
--Dublin, Ga.: Mostly cloudy and cooler with periods of rain. High 54.
--Dublin, Ind.: Mostly sunny and nice. High 60.
--Dublin, Md.: Abundant sunshine and mild. High 62.
--Dublin, Miss.: Mostly cloudy. High 61.
--Dublin, N.H.: Sunny and nice. High 59.
--Dublin, Ohio: Mostly sunny and beautiful. High 62.

The "Dead of Winter," the one-month period when normal temperatures reach their lowest levels, has come to an end for much of the United States. Some people may find it odd that the "Dead of Winter" does not encompass the darkest day of the year (the first day of winter). That is due to a seasonal lag in temperatures. More heat continues to be lost than is gained from the start of winter until this time of year.
This Day In Weather History
Savannah, GA (1899)

Lake Placid, NY (1980)
