       Clouds, rain and drizzle helped keep temperatures about 10 degrees below average this afternoon. That’s a good 35 degrees chillier than it was Monday afternoon, when we saw record highs near 80. Ahh, spring! With this latest storm — that dropped a soaking rain locally — moving out of here, we’ve got a few days of typical March weather ahead. Then there’s that bigger storm we’re watching for the weekend.
