Balmy Today. Gusty Winds…

 

Synopsis:

Any early showers this morning will give way to partly sunny skies as a cool front moves offshore. It’ll be balmy, the cold air is lagging behind the front.

Thursday we’ll be in between systems with mild conditions.

On Friday a cold front with a weak wave of low pressure will move through the region with limited moisture. Scattered snow showers are likely. A whitening of the ground is possible in spots, especially over Northern areas.

The flood gates will open up from Canada and cold air will funnel into the area this weekend. Temperatures will be well below average with highs most likely remaining below freezing Saturday and getting just above freezing on Sunday. The storm threat is over for this weekend as the storm will pass well to our South.

There is another potential storm on the horizon for Tuesday. Yep, again key word POTENTIAL. Stay tuned.

Today:

Partly sunny and balmy. Windy. Highs around 60º. West winds at 10-20mph with gusts to 35mph.

Tonight:

Mostly clear. Lows around 40º in the City, the 30s inland. West wind at 10-15mph.

Thursday:

Mostly sunny, mild. Highs in the mid to upper 40s.

Friday:

Mostly cloudy. Snow showers are possible. Highs in the lower 40s.

Saturday:

Partly sunny and cold. Highs around freezing.

Sunday:

Partly sunny and cold. Highs in the mid 30s.

April-like Showers Tuesday. Balmy Wednesday…

 

   

Synopsis:.

A warm front will work toward the area and swing to our North later today. Another Spring Fling will be upon us. On and off rain and showers is expected today. Tomorrow will be balmy as the cold air is lagging behind the front.

Looking down the pike there are two areas of low pressure to watch. The first, on Friday will a weak system. Scattered snow showers are possible. The second storm potential will be on Sunday. This system will be more potent. The track of this low pulling out of the South is still in question. The models have now converged on a solution that the storm will pass to our South. The second map above is the GFS, the 3rd the European model. At this point it looks like a miss but stay tuned as we have many days to watch this system develop.  One thing is for sure it will be a very cold weekend.

Today:

Mostly cloudy with on and off showers. Mild. Highs in the mid 50s.

Tonight:

Periods of rain. Very mild with lows in the 40s to around 50º. Southwest wind at 10-15mph.

Wednesday:

Partly sunny and balmy. Highs around 60º.

Thursday:

Partly sunny, more seasonal. Highs in the mid to upper 40s.

Friday:

Mostly cloudy. A few snow showers are possible. Highs in the lower 40s.

Saturday:

Partly sunny and cold. Highs around freezing.

Seasonal Start to Workweek. April-like Showers Tuesday…

 

Synopsis:.

This Winter will be dubbed “The Rollercoaster” as we’ve seen so many ups and downs in temperature. Personally, I have not experienced a Winter like this in the tri-state area with such temperature swings.

The return flow around the high pressure system that gave us our cold weekend will provide for seasonal readings to start the workweek. Another Spring Fling will be upon us by Tuesday.  It’ll feel more like April with scattered showers.

Looking down the pike the models are in a state of disarray from Friday through the weekend. There will be cold high pressure to the North.  One or two areas of low pressure may affect the area.  How these systems interact is anybody’s guess right now. Stay tuned.

Today:

Partly sunny. Seasonal. Readings will be in the mid 40s. Winds will become South at 5-10mph.

Tonight:

Mostly cloudy with scattered showers. Much milder than recent nights. Lows around 40º in the City, near freezing inland. Light Southeast wind.

Tuesday:

Mostly cloudy with on and off showers. The showers are most likely later in the day. Balmy. Highs around 60º.

Wednesday:

Partly sunny and still mild. Highs in the 50s to around 60º.

Thursday:

Partly sunny, more seasonal. Highs in the mid to upper 40s.

Friday:

Mostly cloudy. A few showers are possible. Highs in the mid 40s.

Bitterly Cold This Morning. Slow Recovery This Aftn.

 

Synopsis:.

Canadian high pressure moving into the area is the culprit behind this bitter airmass. This morning will be frigid with readings in the single digits and teens. Wind chills will be in the single digits along the coast, near 0º or below inland. By this afternoon temperatures will recover slowly to above freezing with high pressure overhead and much lighter winds; it won’t be as harsh. The mild temperatures over the midwest on the map above will be heading in our direction for early next week. Another Spring Fling will be upon us. The next chance of rain will be Tuesday.

Looking down the pike the models are in a state of disarray from Friday through the weekend. There will be cold high pressure to the North.  One or two areas of low pressure may affect the area.  How these systems interact is anybody’s guess right now. Stay tuned.
