Synopsis:
High pressure will move off the coast today. A weak disturbance will cause clouds and spotty showers this morning. In colder areas a bit of freezing rain is possible. The sun will return later this morning and afternoon with above average temperatures. The return flow around the high will bring in up mild air from the South through the end of the week. It’ll be a Spring preview around here by Thursday and Friday. Showers are likely tonight and then again on Friday as more disturbances move through. A front will slip to our South by Friday ending the well above average temperatures by next weekend.
The weekend starts off tranquil with sunshine and colder temperatures. Many of the latest computer models now have an area of low pressure developing over the Tennessee Valley later Saturday. This low strengthens some as it moves off the Delaware coast late Saturday night. Cold high pressure is slipping off the New England coast at the same time. I’ve included a low threat of snow and or rain Saturday night into early Sunday morning. Please note that this is not etched in stone and confidence at this time is low. For this to become a higher potential we’d need a few consecutive runs showing the same scenario. Whatever the case the sun will return midday Sunday.
A strong Southeast ridge will redevelop next week. This will cause readings to once again feel like Spring.
Stay tuned.
