Clouds Slowly Diminish Today; Rain Returns Mid Week…

It’s a much cooler and overcast start to the work week.  A quick snap shot of the morning satellite shows a stubborn low cloud deck that will slowly erode as we progress into the back half of the day from west to east.

Screen Shot 2016-03-28 at 8.02.27 AMChilly high pressure will settle over the region through the early week and provide drier conditions.  Temperatures will fall to frosty levels tonight (30-32 degrees for most).

4Our air flow will back around to the SW Wednesday into Thursday and this will transport warmer, more moist air northward.  As such, rain chances will begin to go up late Wednesday into Thursday.

3Rainfall amounts don’t look particularly impressive from this distance (0.50″-0.75″), but we’ll continue to keep an eye on things.

A secondary cold front will move through the region to close the work week and send much cooler air south.  The good news?  While still colder than normal, model trends haven’t been as cold in recent runs.  We still think multiple nights of sub-freezing temperatures are ahead, but the “absurd cold” looks to remain to our north/ northeast as of now.

Wet Day On Tap…

Screen Shot 2016-03-24 at 9.00.42 AMHighlights:

  • Showers and t-storms
  • Chilly Good Friday
  • Tricky Easter Forecast

Showers And Embedded Thunder Today…Showers and thunderstorms will be with us for the majority of the late morning and afternoon hours before a cold front sweeps through the state tonight and sets up a dry, but much colder time of things for Good Friday.  Locally heavy downpours are a good bet today, including some 1″+ totals across central parts of the state.

The first half of the Easter weekend is looking very nice.  Certainly of the two days, we’d recommend getting that Easter Egg Hunt in on Saturday as clouds will increase Easter Sunday and give way to late day rain.  Modeling isn’t in agreement on the timing of rain Easter, but we’re siding more with the GFS approach for now (earlier arrival when compared to the European).  Stay tuned as we fine tune ;-).

Our “topsy turvy” weather pattern will continue into next week, but we still eye a significant cold front and associated MUCH colder air mass during the first (10) days of April…
