Good Saturday, folks. We’ve made it to the weekend and the weather looks pretty darn nice. Given the ugly stuff we had in the past week, I think we have earned a nice weekend. Unfortunately there is more ugly showing up for next week with some of the models going hog wild on some winter crazy.

Today starts cold with readings in the 20s. As milder air moves in, it can produce some light snow in the north and northeast early on…

By the afternoon, temps are taking off with low 60s in the west to near 50 in the east.

Sunday looks gooooooooooood with highs in the 60s under partly sunny skies.

The threat for a shower or thunderstorm will be with us on Monday as southwesterly winds continue to crank. The increase in moisture is ahead of a strong cold front plowing in here on Tuesday. That should have a band of showers and thunderstorms ahead of it…

GFS 3

We will need to be on guard for some strong storms with that, but the setup is much more tame than what we had a few days ago.

Seasonally chilly air comes in behind that for the middle of the week with a battle brewing late in the week into next weekend. The models continue to struggle with winter verses spring in this time frame.

The European Model has slightly different timing than earlier, but keeps showing an Ohio Valley to east coast winter storm…

Euro 3

Winter lovers want to lock that run in and roll with it. Taken verbatim, it shows a smackdown. That shows up well with the crazy cold temps it has to follow…

Euro 4

The Canadian joined the winter look by the weekend…

The GFS is MUCH warmer…

The GFS Ensembles are riding with a warm look…

GFS Temps 2

I’m all aboard the GFS train, but it even shows a much colder pattern developing next week. Sigh… March is such a fickle month.

Have a great Saturday and take care.
