DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 31-APRIL 4)…
\nThe volatility of Spring will be on display as we end March and begin April. What we do know: Changes will be frequent and sometimes very pronounced. What we don’t know: The small details, but below I’ll try to give a breakdown of how I expect it to go and as always a fine-tuning will be done in updates to come… First, as we say goodbye to March, we’ll do so with a reminder of the warmer than normal weather that dominated a good portion of the month. This will be done with a strong southwest wind, however, which will take away from what would be a otherwise a very enjoyable day. A cold front approaching tonight and Friday will bring cloudiness and several rounds of rain showers. And then comes the transition to colder weather during April’s first weekend. With the upper level trough slow to pass and one front in the vicinity, I’m going to lean a little more pessimistic than I had been before on Saturday’s forecast, keeping lots of clouds and the chance of rain showers in it. A small but intensifying low pressure area will move across the region in the early hours of Sunday, dragging a very late season Arctic cold front through, bringing strong winds, much colder air, and a chance of snow showers Sunday. There’s even the risk of a period of snow with the low itself that may result in some accumulation of snow for parts of the region Sunday morning, depending on timing. Quick-moving systems mean that the next round of unsettled weather, in the form of snow or mix, may arrive by later Monday, depending on the movement of a wave of low pressure coming out of the Great Lakes region.
