Synopsis:
A warm Southerly flow will develop today ahead of a cold front. Temperatures will be ten to fifteen degrees warmer than average. We may flirt with 60º. The average high is 47º. The flow from the South will be moist. On and off showers and drizzle will develop later this morning under a mostly cloudy sky.
The cold front will cross the area tonight with a period of steadier rain. The computer models have now sped up the speed of the front so it looks like Wednesday morning will be rain free with the exception of showers over Eastern sections early in the morning. Skies will clear and temperatures will drop from the 50s just after midnight to the 40s during the day. This will be the start of the major pattern change to colder that will take hold for some time to come. Will a storm form along the Eastern Seaboard? The latest computer guidance has a couple of areas of weak low pressure off the coast- one Friday Night and the other later Saturday and Saturday Night. I’ve included the chance of snow showers at this point for Saturday. Still several days to watch how this plays out.
Stay tuned.
