Good Saturday, everybody. Our weekend is off and running on a chilly note, but warmer temps will surge in before we move close things out. That will likely set the stage for another huge temperature swing and severe weather threat next week.

Temps today will hit the upper 50s to low 60s under mostly sunny skies. Much milder air blows in for Sunday as many areas head into the lower 70s.

Early next week will find our thermometers in the upper 70s and low 80s for highs. That should last until we get into the middle of the week, before it all comes crashing down by Friday. To get from point A to point B… we may have to deal with rounds of strong or severe thunderstorms.

The European Model shows the temp difference taking shape along the front…

The GFS is a tad quicker…

GFSThat’s a healthy blast of cold air moving in behind the front. Look at the temp anomalies…

The amount of cold air across North America continues to be very impressive and it continues to bully spring around.

Have a great Saturday and take care.
