March 18th, 2025.

 

Today and tomorrow, will be dry, sunny and warm; satellite and radar show clouds over New England as low pressure with the rain continuing to push east. Then we will see another system approach and move through for Thursday into Friday.

 

 

  

Temperatures will continue to climb today as high pressure sets up, and they will stay mild going into tonight. Tomorrow will see a strong southern breeze will drive temperatures much warmer. Our next rain maker, is over the Rockies, this will emerge in the Plains and upper Midwest tonight into Wednesday where it will create blizzard or near-blizzard conditions north and west of the low. The low will continue to strengthen over the central plains as it heads for the Great Lakes Wednesday into Thursday.   This is going to kick off more severe weather, but it doesn’t look to be as bad as what just occurred. Currently the SPC has part of the Ohio Valley under a Marginal Risk for tomorrow.  

Ahead of the cold front rain will move into western Pennsylvania and western New York State Thursday morning; this will move east across the Pennsylvania and New York State during the rest of the day, reaching the Middle Atlantic, Hudson Valley and western New England Thursday evening; then eastern New England Thursday night.   Rain could be heavy at times. Rain amounts look to be 0.25 to an inch for most of us.  We can expect thunderstorms along with the rain. This time around, the severe parameters aren’t going to be as stout, with a better chance for severe storms over Virginia into the Carolinas. But some of the thunderstorms over the region could contain some gusty winds. We will see how this all evolves over the next couple of days.

Behind the cold front temperatures will become much cooler. This will change rain over to a mix/snow. Most locations across New York State and Northern and central New England, will see little to no accumulation, but the higher hills, Tug Hill region, Adirondacks, Greens, Berkshires, and Whites could see a few inches. The Catskills and Poconos could see some accumulation from mix/snow as well.   

Friday will be cold but should generally be dry. Saturday will see temperatures start to warm as a weak area of low pressure approaches and moves across Pennsylvania on Saturday, bringing a chance for some rain/snow showers. I don’t expect any additional accumulations. Sunday is looking to be clear and dry with rebounding temperatures.  Sunday night and Monday another area of low pressure moves through bringing rain and higher elevation snow showers. Tuesday is looking unsettled as we will be dealing with a trough over the region.
