One day closer to real spring.
Looking at the surface chart and radar; we can see, high pressure pushing east, along with a couple of warm fronts moving across the region. We can also see that our next storm continues to develop in the Central Plains as it heads for the Mississippi Valley.
Today the warming
trend continues, but we’re dealing with more in the way of clouds. By this
afternoon, temperatures are going to become above average. There will be a few
snow/rain showers with these fronts. Most of us will see rain, but snow showers
and a mix will be possible the further north you are. Most will see little to any
snow accumulations, but the higher elevations across northern New York State
and northern New England could see 1 to 3 inches of snow. This will likely
change to some rain later today and tonight. Then tonight northern areas cool
off to around freezing, this could lead to a bit of ice on roadways during the
overnight into tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow another
warm front with gusty southwest winds will bring in even warmer weather, as the
storm moves into the Great Lakes. The leading edge will likely be snow for
northern areas, but this will change over to all rain fairly quickly, the rest
of the region will be all rain. Rain
will be heavy at times; General rain amounts of 0.50 to 1.50 inches can be
expected; some could see lower amounts along with pockets of higher amounts for
others. A large part of New York State
could see some thunderstorms, New England could see a few rumbles of thunder as
well, the risk for thunderstorms will be greater for Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware
into New Jersey. Some isolated storms could be strong to severe, especially over
southeast Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and Southern New Jersey, The major
risk will be damaging winds, but hail and even an isolated tornado or two is
possible.
For
Wednesday and Thursday winds will be very gusty with gust of 30-40 mph, Wind
gust of 40 to 50 mph will be possible along the Coast. Thursday will see the
storm pushing east, rain will end east to west, much of Thursday will see very
mild temperatures continue; but has the cold air behind the cold front moves in
there will be a change over to snow. This snow will move southwest to northeast
across Pennsylvania, New York State and northern New England.
With the melting
snow and rain, there is the risk for flooding and especially ice jam flooding,
so say aware.
Friday will
be cold, with windy weather continuing. But away from the Great Lakes most of
us should be dry, outside a few snow showers. But lake effect snow will be
falling downwind of Lake Ontario. The
lake snows continue for Saturday as a weak area of low pressure passes to our
south. High pressure moves in for Sunday,
but both Saturday and Sunday will be rather chilly. Monday a Clipper will approach
and move through, bringing a chance for northern snow showers. Tuesday is
looking to be dry.
Thank you!
