Good afternoon weather folks. Happy March 1st, the first day of Meteorological Spring. By later tonight, it’ll feel like anything but Spring! More on that in a moment, but I just wanted to jump on briefly here as I have been quite under the weather for the past 10 days, yet wanted to get on top of a couple of weather events and a brief household item to share.
Bundle up tonight and tomorrow! It’s a great night to throw on some logs or crank up the heat as a bitter arctic blast, coupled with very strong winds drop into the Northeast over the next few hours. Sub-zero wind chills make it all the way down to the Mason Dixon line into most of NJ, falling to minus teens to 20 to 30 below zero by tomorrow morning. Widespread Wind Chill Advisories are up for most of the Northeast until tomorrow morning. Temps will remain in the teens and 20s Tuesday morning around the tri-state area, rising only into the low 30s later in the day. Southern New England will be locked into the teens to mid 20s for highs as winds begin to subside later in the day tomorrow. Again, this will be brief but brutal. Yet the switch to Spring (kinda) turns on Wednesday as temps moderate to near to above normal Wednesday with temps in the upper 40s to low 50s across the tri-state area (some mid to upper 50s in SNJ down to DC). The mercury rollercoaster continues later in the week as temps are trending below average over the weekend.
As of now, no storms are popping up on the models. However, I’m not fully ruling out a system up the Eastern seaboard later this weekend as the Euro 500mb ensembles are reflecting strong blocking and a deep trough along the east coast. So snow is possible for the Northeast. If this one doesn’t pan out, a number of meteorological gears are suggesting March (temp and storm wise) could provide us March Madness type of events. More to come, but I’d clearly enjoy the brief warmth early next week, and don’t put away the winter gear just yet. As I repeat every March, the Northeast have produced some of the largest snowstorms this month. Look below at the attached historical March Snowstorms. How many do you remember?
On a separate note, my never-ending passion for meteorology to provide the most accurate forecasts, resulting in being your main and go to source for all your weather needs, is my goal here! I made the decision to keep my website ad free. My costs for my website, software and various subscriptions for models, radar, etc. are not steep yet help create and provide the added features to all the hours and time spent researching, analyzing and writing up my blogs.
