COMMENTARY…
\nReprieve. Melting. Mild. Spring? Sorry folks, it’s still Winter, and will be for another 11 days on the calendar and who knows how long in the overall weather pattern. But despite the couple of milder days now, the overall pattern is still a chilly one, and will not be absent of late season snow threats. Many that are lulled into the false sense of security will be jolted out of it by the reality of a colder air mass arriving Thursday and a potential storm this coming weekend, and more “fun” to follow next week.<\/p>\n
SUMMARY…
\nArctic air has retreated northward into Canada and will stay there for a while. A storm system will track across the US Southeast and off the Mid Atlantic Coast by Tuesday night and the northern edge of its precipitation shield will make it into southeastern New England, but this time it will be mild enough so that it rains instead of snows. After that exits Wednesday, a trough and then a cold front pass through the region. The trough will dry the air out, but with the colder air hanging back until the cold front passes, it will allow the temperature to break 50 in some locations for the first time in a long while on Wednesday. This short lived “warm-up” will be followed by a couple chilly and dry days Thursday and Friday. Over the weekend, a slow-moving and evolving storm system will bring unsettled and chilly weather. It’s not quite clear what form the precipitation will take at any given time, but both rain and snow are probable. The details will be ironed out as the time draws closer. This system should exit by Monday of next week.<\/p>\n
