Long Range look at March.
March has
been active and it will stay that way. We’re going to have several systems come
through over the next 7 to 10 days, along with wild temperature swings. The storm responsible for the wintery mess and
all this wind is still up over the Canadian Maritimes, we’re it is still
wrapping up, so the winds will be with us tomorrow as well. Another storm is going to crash into the West
Coast, this one looks to move into the Plains and become quite strong, then it
looks to push toward the Great Lakes, with possible impacts similar to the one
we’re dealing with now. Impacts will depend on the storms track.
Over the
weekend it will be seasonally cold with a couple of weak disturbances move through
bringing a chance for a few snow showers over northern parts of the region. Most
areas will see a coating to perhaps 3 inches, with the higher elevations having
a chance for 3 to 6 inches with possibly higher local amounts. The rest of the
region will run the risk for a few rain showers. Change your clocks ahead on hour when you go
to bed, Saturday night. Sunday the winds will weaken a little. But then on
Monday a fast-moving clipper, will bring snow/mix/rain along with a return of
strong winds. Monday will be the beginning of a warming trend, so northern
snows should end up changing over to rain.
Tuesday into
Thursday is looking to see temperatures become very mild. But a backdoor cold
front will be close by, so that could put a fly in the ointment; so, depending
on where it ends up there could be a temperature divide across the region. We
will also have to keep on eye on the storm in the Plains as we get into mid to
end of next week. Then there could be
another big storm for next weekend into the following week.

The polar
jet has weakened. So, we’re seeing these cold outbreaks move across the CONUS.
These outbreaks will likely lead to more severe outbreaks, and U.S. northern
tier snow over at least the next couple of weeks. So, our current pattern looks to stick around
for the foreseeable future.
That Carnot Engine needs a bigger temperature differential. When is the last year we had a tight circular path?
