It Just Gets Better

A very subtle cold front pushed through early this morning. There were a few more clouds around for the first part of the day but the afternoon finished strong with lots of sunshine and temperatures close to Saturday's warm readings. Spring Fever will run rampant as the next two days are even milder, think mid-April warmth. Mother Nature serves up a calendar reminder by Thursday, nothing awful, but it is still March.

Forecast Discussion

Thanks to the time change seemingly endless sunshine rounds out the afternoon and evening. A warm westerly flow aloft is the name of the game Monday through Wednesday sending temperatures an easy 10 or more degrees above normal the next two days. Changes occur for the middle of the week, the first signal is rain Wednesday, then things turn cold.

Here is the story, in the medium term there are two significant areas of low pressure moving across the country. One will march across the Gulf Coast and the other coming out of the Central Plains on a journey through the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys continuing northeast. It is the latter of the two that is of more consequence with a big-time March snow storm on the table up north. Barring any significant track changes the snow bulls eye will be in the Ohio Valley, interior Northeast, and New England. Closer to home we are on the warm side of the storm so the result is for showers Wednesday, possibly an isolated thunderstorm late in the day, and then a turn to January cold for Thursday.

Such is the case in a transient weather month the cold doesn't last long. More seasonal temperatures quickly return Friday heading into the weekend.
