Tomorrow's Storm will Likely Go Wide Right
Written by John DiPasquale:
After a little wet snow & rain this morning, the rest of today will be quiet & a little damp. Temperatures will peak in the 40 to 45 degree range for this last day of March.
Later today into tonight an intense Nor'Easter will evolve & slide up the coast tonight into Friday. The latest data is still suggesting that most, if not all, of the accumulating snows will fall east of our viewing area. However, to the east of the Greater Rochester area across the Central Finger Lakes there may be a slushy coating to an inch or two late tonight into tomorrow morning. All most of Western New York will see from this storm are clouds & a little snow & rain from time to time late tonight & Friday.
The weekend will be blustery with a few snow & rain showers possible Saturday & more in the way of sun developing Sunday. Highs both days will range from about 40 to 45. Are there any 50 something degree readings expected to occur over the next several days? At this point, it appears we will likely be stuck in the upper 30s to mid 40s for highs right through at least the first half of next week as the unseasonably chilly pattern holds on to the northeast. Frustrating! I know. We'll get our payback.
Have a great day everyone!
I agree. Mother nature always finds a way to pay us back. Just look at last summer, with one of the most persistently warm summers in history. Seemed nearly every day was 80 degrees or better for several months in a row. Then what happened? One of the most persistently cold winters. I guess the question is how far out in the future will we get our payback. Hopefully sooner than later. I'm routing for mid April.
ReplyDeleteYes, there are signs of some warming for the middle of the month, but still an unusual amount cold air still up in Canada through mid April. We'll see. Stay tuned.
ReplyDeleteI love that SnowFan is now SummerFan LOL
ReplyDeletelooking at the MUCH bigger picture (which I do because i'm a weather geek), this highly positive AO and the resulting build up of cold air to our north might be a good sign for the Arcic this spring. It may help to slow sea ice melt compared to previous years and lead to a higher ice coverage overall this summer. There are already signs of anomalously cold conditions persisting across northern Canada into the Arctic, and stretching into Greenland for awhile to come. It will be interesting to see the ice coverage trends this spring compared to previous years.
ReplyDeleteI think winter and I need to spend a little time apart. Maybe next fall i'll feel the same sparks for it like I did before. But right now, I'm just not feelin' winter. Time to see other seasons for awhile.
