DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 13-17)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite the met-bashing I’ve been witnessing around the net this morning, I feel that yesterday’s event behaved as expected, for the most part. Not sure what people were looking for, but I think most people got what they were forecast to get, within a reasonable margin of error. I mean, somebody may have gotten 3.7 inches of snow when they were in a 1-3 inch area, but hey, it happens! Now that storm has moved away and blasted in some cold air for today, but it will only be around for today before we moderate nicely to start the week as high pressure builds in Monday. A disturbance passing north of us on Tuesday will push its cold front southeastward into the region later in the day and into the night, and that front likely comes to a halt and may allow for some unsettled weather for several hours. I’m not sold that this is just rain, as just enough cold air may sneak down for some mixing in northern portions of the WHW forecast area, so that’s going to be something to keep an eye on. That boundary lifts north again Wednesday and high pressure is close enough to provide us with a pleasant late astronomical winter \/ early meteorological spring day. When we get to Thursday, St. Patrick’s Day in case you want to get your green garments ready, we’ll find ourselves between two disturbances – a low pressure area to the south that may get close enough to bring rain to the South Coast, and a weaker disturbance passing to the north which should keep most of its moisture there. For me, at day 5, the safe bet is to add clouds to the forecast and include the chance of a bit of wet weather for the South Coast, but ultimately this system may end up further south and not a factor, so watch for potential forecast adjustments we as go through the next few days…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 18-22)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zonal flow pattern – but near boundary of cold Canada and warm Southeast US. Disturbance brings rain threat March 18, a switch to breezy\/chilly weather March 19, then a potential rain\/mix\/snow event sometime mid to late period. The vernal equinox \u2013 the astronomical beginning of spring \u2013 occurs at 11:33 a.m. on Sunday March 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 23-27)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite what looks to be a continued fairly low amplitude zonal flow pattern overall, we will see some battling of early spring warmth to our south and lingering cold of winter to our north, leaving us vulnerable to temperature changes and a couple bouts of unsettled weather once again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
