Current surface chart radar and satellite.
If you like perfect spring days in March. Today is your day!
Temperatures across interior parts of the region are very mild. Along the coast Temperatures are a bit cooler due to that sea breeze. We have that frontal boundary to our south; with a lot of sun over southern parts of our region with some clouds and isolated rain showers across northern parts of the region.
With all the warmth Snow melt and ice jams are going to be a issue. So stay alert for flooding.
On the surface chart we can see There is a cold front over the northern plains that is heading our way. This front is likely to cause quite a bit of severe weather Over the upper midwest and Plains tomorrow.
For us For us tomorrow is going to be milder than it is even today. With record breaking warmth possible. As the front Moves closer western into central parts of our region could see a bit of rain. The rain showers would be moving into western parts of the region during the afternoon and then into central parts of the region in the evening and overnight. A few snow mix showers could be across far northern parts of the region this will be especially true for northern Maine. A few very isolated showers Could make it into eastern New York state in eastern Pennsylvania But most should stay dry. Wednesday will be another very warm day With the front approaching and moving close to western parts of our region. South and southwest winds will become very gusty. Ahead of the front hit and miss rain showers and thunderstorms will move into the western half of our region. We will see pockets of heavier rain and some of these thunderstorms could be strong too severe. The storm prediction center has a Slight Risk for severe storms over southwest Pennsylvania. With a Marginal Risk across central and to northern Pennsylvania as well as southwest New York State.
Thursday is going to continue to be very windy with wind gust of 30-40 miles an hour or so possible. The actual cold front will be coming in Wednesday overnight and through Thursday Rain chances will increase across new England. Temperatures are quickly gonna fall behind the front. We are going to see Rain change over to snow west to east across the region. Most of the region shouldn't see any snow accumulations But the northern areas especially in higher elevations could pick up a few inches. High pressure will move in behind the cold front. Temperatures are going to fall a lot But remember we're into mid to late march And so Temperatures in the 30s and 40s is a big difference from temperatures in the 10s and 20s that we would have seen earlier this winter.
A clipper will be moving through later Friday into Saturday. This will bring rain showers and snow/mix showers to the region. And allow us to stay chili for the weekend. Sunday into Monday we are going to be watching another storm moving towards the Great Lakes. This very likely will set off more severe weather in the Upper Midwest and into the Ohio Valley. There is a chance that this could bring some accumulating snow to northern parts of our region. With rain for the rest of us.
Melting quick here,snow was over my head where the plow pushes the snow.We had a family of rabbits born in the neighbors playhouse last year.We kept feeding them all summer and fall,when snow came I saw tracks in the snow all around where we would put the food.I looked out one night and saw three rabbits looking at me.I threw out a bunch of carrots and they left after devouring them.The next night same thing.I set up the Shelter's that we had for feral cats,built a good cover for them and put sides on them.My wife reminded me they were waterproof and wind proof along with being insulated..The bowls of rabbit food were put under the roof and they were set.After the plow came for the forth storm I couldn’t get to the shelter’s.I had to dig them a path and I Used it to fill the bowls.The third time I had too shovel my wife had the window open,it seems I had some unkind words for the plow guy.I was throwing snow into a pile that was 10 feet high.The shoulder I broke is still thanking me for that.
ReplyDeleteThat pile is now 3 feet high but the water from the snow melt went down the way the yard is pitched and we have a tiny mud problem and my wonderful,lovely wife parked right in the middle of it.Yes she thought her Toyota was a 4 by 4 and it is not..
It really is amazing how much snow went in two days.We went for a ride towards Springfield,someone needed to go shopping,needed to go because it has been a long winter.Well to our South the snow is just about gone.The spots that are North behind hills still have Snow
The ride home was up in the Mountains,not where you want to be when the roads are starting to fall apart and frost heaves send a person airborne.
So it’s mud season in Northwest,Massachusetts and the Springfield area has no snow but it was 70,in between the two areas the roads are starting to show the type of winter we had.I can’t wait for tomorrow,we are going shopping again only to the North.
Thank you for sharing And thank you for watching out for the rabbits and wildlife
