Good Saturday everyone and welcome to one heck of a weather weekend. We have some great looking weather ahead of us the next few days before the pattern becomes active into next week. It looks like a prolonged period of soggy weather may be in store before we try to switch the pattern back toward winter for a bit. Moral of the story… enjoy the next few days. 
Temps today make a run toward 50 in many areas with low 50s in the west as sunny skies return. Sunday will see more sun with a few afternoon clouds rolling in. Thermometers will warm well into the 50s for everyone.
The clouds will continue to thicken up Sunday night as a weak system dives in here from the northwest. This will likely bring a few showers in here into the early part of Monday. Temps for Monday will be tricky as readings will depend on how fast the clouds and showers clear out. If we do break out into sunshine… highs will soar toward 60.
That brings us to the active weather pattern that develops for Tuesday and hangs around through the week and even into next weekend. A slow moving low pressure will be roaming across the plains states. Ahead of it… temps around here will be fairly mild with 50s and maybe even some 60s for Tuesday and Wednesday. That will come with a price as showers increase. Check out the GFS…

There is some question as to how quickly this low tries to tap some cold air by the end of the week. The overall blocking that is still showing up suggests it will have some cold to pull in as it works eastward and the some of the models are showing this…
Friday Evening
We will figure out all that in the coming days. Just go out and shake out the winter rust and enjoy a few days of nice March weather. Have a great Saturday and take care.

Thanks Chris… Even a die hard snow lover like me is looking forward to sunny days and warmer temps!
Thank you Chris. I do love snow but I am ready for spring… just not ready for spring storms. I do not like severe weather at all, hopefully we will see another spring like last year, just a few storms.
Thanks Chris! Going to do just that! It is a verycold 18 here again this morning, but the sun is shining full force, and I laready have the blinds open to let it into the house.
Everyone have a GREAT Saturday!
i know everyone hates to hear this, but the GFS has a most high in canada coming down with extrmely cold air around the end of this month.
Does that mean more snow, or just cold and rain?
Well, I’m more than ready for Spring, but it would be just as well if all the cold air just hung around until it was finally scoured out. I don’t want to see another false Spring followed by Easter Sunday snow, like a few years ago.
Jamie, I don’t think the last burst of cold air is over–what is it we have, Blackberry Winter? Those spells aren’t too long, though. We’re breaking out of it, I think.
This weekend was perfect. Thanks, Chris! 🙂
Blackberry winter isn’t until around June when the blackberried bloom thus called Blackberry winter. I agree with you though I think we’ll have a few more cold spells to endure before spring has sprung!
