- 50s to low 60s Today but Tanks into Teens by morning !
- Wild warm wet and windy Wednesday!
- Bowling ball pattern back
Want to see something wild? How’s a 30 to 50° swing in appx 12 hours sound? You must get outside today between 12-3pm. How’s mid 50s to low 60s (70s in Carolinas) from DC, to Dover, DE up to Dover, NJ, to Dover, MA to Dover, NH?! What a way to open Meteorological Spring (3/1 to 5/31) BUT as I warned on last Wednesday’s post, salt up the driveways and sidewalks tonight as a brief blast of winter arrives with temps crashing over night!
How’s Sunday 7am temps in the teens (single digit wind chills) across the Tri-state, topping out in just the upper 20s to low 30s sound? Or in New England, single digits out the door (minus 5° to minus 15°F windchills), rising only into the teens sound?? Prepare for a repeat of frozen feet on Monday into Tuesday before temps moderate as our next system arrives!
Also wanted to give a little more color on the upcoming weather events I hinted on in my last post (for those who are new subscribers, welcome btw, in my last paragraph of my most of posts I usually provide a brief look ahead at systems or events I’m watching). They of course don’t always pan out but I try to give a leg up for those traveling.
For next Wednesday into Thursday on the rain/wind system that I mentioned, this is going to be doozy for the entire eastern seaboard. A low tracks across the central plains bringing severe weather over OK/AR/MS/AL. This low pulls in plenty of Gulf and Atlantic moisture. Besides strong to damaging wind gusts, a long duration rain storm will lead to moderate to significant flooding, especially snow packed areas in NH and Maine. Flights will be impacted so be aware of delays/cancellations. Consider changing to Tuesday or Thursday. I’ll circle back early next week with timing, track and totals.
Once we’re past Wednesday, I suspect the bowling ball pattern of storms comes back. Next weekend’s chance of a winter storm is waffling at the moment creating model mayhem. But I’m not ruling it out just yet. Plus mid-March threats (white clovers 🍀 possible?) are on the table. Ok, that’s it for now. Now get out there today and get teased by the hint of spring, but you’ll thank me later when you spread salt tonight as melted snow starts to refreeze. Starting to sneeze so off to bed, as weather never sleeps!
