Good Monday to one and all. We’ve made it to the middle of March and our temps are set to recover in a big, big way. It’s another taste of spring, but I’m not convinced this is the true start of the spring season. As a matter of fact, there’s a colder look already taking shape in the longer range.
Temps today warm into the 50s in the east and 60-65 in the west. Whatever snow you have left is about to get wiped out.
Temps hit the 60s for the entire region Tuesday as a weak system passes just to our south. This has a chance to bring a shower or two into the far south and southeast through early Wednesday, but most remain dry…
Temps take off for the middle and end of the week with upper 60s and low 70s for highs…
That will get those spring juices flowing in a hurry!!
Another system rolls through here by later Friday and Saturday with showers and storms ahead of it and colder air behind it…
The Canadian shows a pretty wound up system…
That’s able to tap a quick shot of cold behind it that’s able to produces a few flakes by Saturday night…
No thanks.
Temps rebound into next week as a bowling ball looking system rolls across the country…
That could lead to some strong storms before a big temperature crash.
The longer range for the end of March into early April continues to take on a colder look and that’s because of blocking showing up, especially over Greenland. The extended GFS Ensembles show a pretty massive -NAO taking shape during this time…
A -NAO in the spring can be an ugly look around here, so here’s hoping it pulls out of that fairly quickly.
Make it a great day and take care.
The LAST thing we want to see going into Spring is a negative NAO! This “new normal” that we’ve been experiencing over the past few years is the absolute pits. The fruit tree crops in Warren County have escaped disaster by the thinnest of margins, and each year it seems that the odds grow shorter.
As Long As it stays Cold (below 50 Degrees F) at Night, the Trees And Fruit Crops Should be Okay.
Mother Nature has December And March mixed Up as Far as Winter and Spring Weather is Concerned.
La Nina has Entered Moderate Strength, But is Forecast to Go Neutral this Summer, And then is Forecast to Go Back for A “Triple Dip” Next Fall and Winter ??? Very Rare if this Happens.
What Ever Happened to ENSO ???
I’ll believe it when I see it. 😉
