TUESDAY WEATHER BRIEFING
GOOD MORNING!
Welcome to March and Meteorological Spring! I will do a winter recap and grade our winter forecast in a separate post here on the blog today.Today will be a warm one! Highs today 55-60 despite more clouds than sunshine.BUT, rain is heading our way by dinner time. The rain will push in from west to east between 5-7pm. Simulated radar:
Rain totals will average 0.25"-0.50".
As colder air wraps in behind the area of low pressure, rain will change to snow showers around or after midnight tonight.
Snow accumulations will be very minor....a coating to maybe an inch. We can't rule out 2 inches in some areas north of I-80.
WEDNESDAY: BACK TO WINTER
A cold one Wednesday with a flurry around early....temperatures staying in the 20s. Our coldest day until NEXT winter (I know, I said that about last Friday.....called that putt a bit too early. Not this time).
BETTER CHANCE FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW: THURSDAY/THURSDAY NIGHT
A quick-moving clipper will track through the lower Ohio and Tennessee Valleys Thursday into Thursday night. While we will be on the north side of the precipitation shield with this, I think there will be a period of light snow that can stick. Right now, thinking this is a 1-3" type of an event.
ONE MORE CHANCE FOR SNOWFLAKES SATURDAY
A weaker system might bring a touch of snow Saturday afternoon and evening. At this point I think the odds of accumulation are lower than with Thursday's system.
LONG RANGE: WOO-HOO!
You know I have been talking about this since last week. Next week looks amazing as abnormally warm air is expected to surge into the East. The warm up starts Monday.
Highs are likely to top 70 degrees for AT LEAST a couple of days late in the week.
2 DEGREE GUARANTEE:
Nice streak to end February!
