The National Weather Service issued a hazardous weather outlook at 2 p.m. on March 10, 2016, warning of possible flooding due to a combination of both snow melting and rain this afternoon and tonight, especially with small rivers and streams.

But after that, expect really great pre-Spring weather conditions, according to AccuWeather.com.

Some meteorologists are warning, however, that this early Spring will also bring on some of the worst pollen concentrations earlier than expected this year. AccuWeather.com has all the details.
