One Month To Go
The Vernal Equinox is just one month away!
Check: Current Conditions | Weather Map Center | Interactive Radar
Beginning in July 2011, average temperatures have been above normal. We are doing it again this month. So far this month, we are running about 5.5F above average.
Watch Melissa's forecast:
Today is the return to more seasonable high temperatures near 40F.
We are seeing clouds this morning due to the large area of low pressure stationed to our south. This storm system has been responsible for the wintry conditions across the Mid-Atlantic region. I think many of us are thinking, "Luckily, we 'dodged the bullet' again."
Temperatures will be upward bound and the bulk of the weather will be dry for the remainder of this school vacation week!
Tuesday will start off sunny, but it will end with mostly cloudy skies.
Round #1 of showers (mix far north and west) will be Tuesday night.
Then, Wednesday will become partly sunny.
Another frontal boundary will bring round #2 of showers Wednesday evening and night.
Thursday will once again show improving conditions during the day.
However, another cloud deck will head this way Thursday night.
This is the first sign of a more potent low pressure system and an adjoining cold front that will bring round #3 of rain (thunder possible) to the region on Friday (especially during the latter half of the day).
This frontal boundary will be the culprit for strong cold air advection and very gusty winds for the last weekend of February.
When talking temperatures, highs will be in the middle 40s on Tuesday, lower 50s on Wednesday, middle 50s on Thursday and the pinnacle will be reached on Friday with highs near 60F!
This weekend is looking dry, but that will be joined by gusty winds and colder temperatures.
