Good Monday, folks. The first full week of March is off and running on a very mild note as temps hit the 70s in many areas. These late April temps are kicking off a very active setup that brings rounds of showers and thunderstorms across the state this week.<\/p>\n

As mentioned, temps out there today reach the 70-75 degree mark in most areas with a mix of sun and clouds. There’s a small chance for a shower or thunderstorm to go up, but the threat for scattered showers and storms will increase on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

That’s when a cold front moves in, allowing a wave of low pressure to develop along it for Wednesday. This brings cooler winds and a few more showers and rumbles of thunder to the region, especially across the eastern half of the state.<\/p>\n

The EURO shows this well…<\/p>\n

Check out the lightning forecast from this same run…<\/p>\n

Temps on Wednesday come down with highs ranging from the mid 50s to mid 60s depending on where you are.<\/p>\n

Thursday is a fairly nice day as we await the arrival of a potent storm system Friday and Saturday. This pushes in with showers and thunderstorms ahead of it with a nice temp drop behind it on Sunday. There’s even the chance for a touch of winter weather to show up…<\/p>\n

There should be a bounce back in temps after that system swings through, but that’s likely ahead of another deep trough sweeping into the east. The Ensembles have a pretty good signature on this setup…<\/p>\n

Big ridges to deep troughs this time of year can make for interesting weather. Severe storms to a little bit of winter?<\/p>\n

I’ll have another update later today. I leave you with your radars to track any isolated shower or storm that goes up…<\/p>\n
