Good Saturday, everyone. We have gorgeous weather rolling in for the first weekend of Spring. Temps are set to take off as some sunshine returns for the next couple of days. While that’s great news and all, the longer range continues to look flat out ugly for the closing days of March and the early days of April.

Skies become partly sunny as the day wears on and that allows for temps to warm well into the 60s. Sunday won’t be as nice, but will still be pretty darn good. Highs in the south and west will be back into the 60s with some 50s creeping back into the north.

Those 50s look take over on Monday as a backdoor front slides in. That front will lift back to the north as a warm front on Tuesday and could produce a shower or thunderstorm as it introduces much milder air for Wednesday. Highs may spike toward 70 on a gusty southwesterly wind.

This is when the changes really show up. A powerful cold front will drop into the state with an increase in showers and Thunderstorms Wednesday night and Thursday. That front still has a wintry look behind it…

GFSThe GFS follows that up with another big dip in the jet stream…

GFS 2The European Ensembles for that same time looks like something out of the heart of winter…

Euro 2You likely have not seen your last snowflakes. Ugh!

Enjoy your day and take care.
