Good evening, everyone. March is off and running on a wild note. Thunderstorms caused some wind damage earlier today as temps soared to near 70 in a few areas. The cold is now surging in and many areas drop below freezing by midnight with a few snowflakes flying.
This is part of a very active weather pattern that continues to throw systems our way in the coming days. The next one arrives Thursday with some cold rain and a touch of snow…
Thursday is just ugly… No other way around it.
Chilly weather carries us into Friday with one more system dropping in from the northwest to start Saturday…
A huge warm up is on the way early next week as temperatures rise into the 70s. This much above normal pattern may also turn very stormy around here. The setup indicates some active rounds of thunderstorms in our part of the world. To illustrate that, look no further than the rain totals over the next 10 days.

Placement isn’t important as it changes from run to run. The overall theme of the models is for rounds of thunderstorms to join the springtime temperatures next week.
I leave you with your “here comes the cold” trackers…
Enjoy the evening and take care.
About this time of year CBailey talks about the cold up north needing to dump prior to our spring. So I am possessed with wonder: how’s the cold up north!?
