Highlights:
- Increasing coverage of showers and t-storms
- Mostly dry mid week period
- Weekend wintry fun and games
Busy Week Of Weather…The week is off to an unseasonably mild start as a strong southerly flow continues ahead of an approaching cold front. That cold front will continue to push east today and sweep through the state Tuesday morning. Coverage of showers will increase as we go through the late morning and early afternoon hours, but there will still be periods of dry weather today. Best coverage of rain and thunderstorms will arrive overnight when most are sleeping and end (from northeast to southwest) Tuesday morning.
Mid week is relatively quiet as we begin to transition from a spring-like beginning to more of a winter-like close. A weak weather system could offer up a few showers Thursday evening, but enthusiasm isn’t high for this to be a big deal.
A more significant storm will move in over the weekend. This is a complex set-up, but we note anomalously cold air poised to spill south from Canada. Given the trend of the winter, we’re treading lightly from hitting the big snow theme models currently suggest. That said, the set-up is one that raises an eyebrow for the potential of a late season, impactful, winter event. Stay tuned this week as we fine tune the details moving forward. A word of caution, if we get snow down this weekend, we’ll have to lower temperatures even further for Sunday…
