A Saturday Soaker…

 

Synopsis:

A storm will move slowly off the Virginia coast through today. Periods of rain will continue. Total rainfall of one to three inches is quite likely by Sunday morning. It will be raw, windy and very chilly today. Highs will  be at least fifteen degrees below the average high of 69º. A good day for a book or movie.

By Mother’s Day, the storm should move far enough offshore for any morning clouds and possible showers to give way to some sunshine. I’m keeping my fingers crossed. The day will most likely be dominated by clouds. It’ll be chilly and breezy as high pressure funnels in from Eastern Canada. Not the best day for mom (remember I’m just the messenger).

The storm will remain in the Western Atlantic through the first half of the week. High pressure will nose down from the Canadian maritimes. This will result in the sun dominating the sky but the winds will continue to be busy. Temperatures will moderate each and every day with readings finally getting to near seasonable levels by Wednesday.

Stay tuned.

Keep it here for a no hype, no nonsense forecast.
