Forecast Updated 03.13.14 @ 7:39a
Thankful For That March Sun…It’ll be a frigid start to your Thursday with many reports of lower teens across the region, including wind chill values around zero. That said, that strong March sun angle will help temperatures zoom to near 40 with a mostly sunny sky Thursday afternoon.
We’ll do even better than that on Friday, once again with a mostly sunny sky. We’ll introduce a strong southwest wind into the mix Friday, but this will be a warmer breeze so we’ll take the trade off, right?! Needless to say, we’ll wrap up the work week with beautiful conditions!
Colder Weekend; Watching A Southern Storm…After another mostly pleasant Saturday, a cold front will blow through here Saturday afternoon. At the same time, we’ll keep our eyes on a developing wet southern storm system. Latest guidance keeps this storm south of our region, but we’ll keep an eye on things. A light shower is possible Saturday morning. Colder air will blow into town Saturday night and Sunday.
Headaches Next Week…Model solutions vary wildly for next week. Case in point, the Wednesday afternoon run off the powerful European forecast model suggests a snow storm and cold conditions Tuesday into early Wednesday. All the while, the GFS takes the storm along the Canadian border and results in a much warmer and drier solution here with highs near 60. We’re leaning more towards the European in this situation, but not fully buying in just yet to the locked and loaded snow storm solution.
It’s important to note the GFS operational run doesn’t agree with it’s own ensembles so this is one of the main drivers with us at least “leaning” more towards the European solution at this juncture. We’ll make sure that we keep a close eye on the Tuesday-Wednesday period and update accordingly. For now we’re going with a rain-to-snow situation Tuesday with potentially accumulating snow falling Tuesday night into early Wednesday.
* This morning we note the European is onto a warmer solution, as well, but before we change our forecast all over the place, we prefer to look over afternoon data and will update things accordingly later this evening for next week.
