DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 1-5)
\nMarch came in like a lion, and according to the old weather proverb should have exited like a lamb. Almost did. The weekend was certainly mild enough for a good portion of it to put one in the lamb frame of mind, but the rain and flip to colder air before it ended might have made you think more zebra. Well, whatever you call it, March is over, and now it’s onto April. I’ll spare you any April Fools Day jokes today and let those more qualified to fib handle that. Here it’s just time to get to the weather outlook, and that’s the absolute truth. High pressure approaches today, with us on the chilly side of it with a gusty northwest wind, making the day feel more late winter-like. High pressure moves across the region tonight then to the east of the region Tuesday while low pressure off the Mid Atlantic Coast intensifies and moves north northeastward. This large ocean storm would be a significant impact if its track was going to be a little further north and west, but it will be more of a side swipe with some rain\/snow in the early hours of Wednesday before it scoots away to sea. Behind it will come a chilly north to northwest air flow later Wednesday through Thursday. An upper disturbance may kick off some cloudiness on Thursday. By Friday, an approaching low pressure area from the Ohio Valley will spread more cloudiness and eventual wet weather into the region, mainly rain, that may start as a mix or snow for some locations with just enough cold air lingering at the start. When we get to the end of the first 5 days of the month you’ll remember them as being on the cold and somewhat unsettled side, despite being dry the majority of the time.
