Good Monday to one and all and welcome to the week that says goodbye to March and hello to April! March roared in the a lion across most of the country. Folklore tells us it should go out like a lamb, but maw nature has other ideas.

We are coming off of a half and half weekend. Saturday was decent while Sunday was a very chilly day with showers and even reports of a few flakes of snow for some. Today looks to be a pretty good day across the region as some sunshine returns and temps head back into the 50s. Tuesday looks even better just ahead of a cold front that moves in later that night into the first day of the new month. Highs will reach the 60s as clouds increase and winds pick up.

That front will bring showers and some thundershowers to us into the first half of Wednesday. Some of the rains may be locally heavy, but this will be a quick moving system. Here is the GFS for Wednesday morning…



Clouds may try to break up by the late afternoon hours Wednesday.

The next storm will be quickly on the heels of the above system and will be moving in here later Thursday or early Friday. The timing of this one can change over the next few days and that’s something we can watch for. If we can somehow get this to move through Thursday night… we might actually have some nice weather for both Thursday and Friday. That is a big IF though. The GFS shows the storm for Friday morning…



That should be another decent rainmaker around here and that is becoming a common theme of late and should continue into April as our active pattern rolls on. The signs continue to point toward a wet and colder period trying to take shape next week. I know… that is not the news any of us want to hear during this time of year.

The models are all saying it could get ugly next week. When I say UGLY… I mean UGLY!!! Take a look…

I know for most of you… looking at those maps doesn’t mean a whole lot to you. Let’s just say that that is one heck of a chilly and damp pattern that would give us the CHANCE of seeing snow for the 7th month in a row! While that would be a cool feat… it is one I would rather not have to go through since I am wanting spring and wanting it right now! I usually get what I want too. hahahaha

Since it’s Monday… let’s give something to make you get up and shake it. Please, Hammer, Don’t Hurt ‘Em…

Have a great Monday and take care.
