Good Friday, folks. We have a heck of a weather day taking shape across the commonwealth. Let’s make sure to get out and enjoy it, because the ugly stuff is coming back this weekend. That trend continues to show up in the long range out look as spring is AWOL.

Sunny skies will be noted across the state today as southwesterly winds gust up. This will boost temps into the 60s for most areas and give us the nicest day for quite a while.

A cold front rolls into the Ohio Valley later tonight and this boundary stalls out for a few days. A couple of waves of low pressure will develop and roll eastward, giving us rounds of showers. That will set the stage for a strong cold front to blow through here late Monday. Check out the rainfall forecast during this time…

GFS Rain

Wild temp swings will be noted during this time. We start Saturday in the 50s then drop later in the day as the front slides in. Saint Patrick’s Day Sunday will feature a lot of green… on radar. Rain will be widespread as temps stay in the chilly 40s for highs. Monday will see thermometers head back into the 50s to near 60 as showers and storms rumble through.

That will set the stage for another much colder than normal period…Euro

That flat out stinks and the overall pattern shows more of the same for the rest of the month…GFS 2

Again… enjoy today. Take care.
