“Northwest Flow” is weather nerd for winds blowing from the north west. Our rain/mix/snow will be riding NW flow overnight through Saturday night.
Saturday will be cold. We won’t get higher than the low 40°s.
Storms will form a long line on radar, called a squall line, which will quickly speed through Wednesday morning. They should be packing quite the punch:
The probability of any of these happening withing 25 miles of you is 30%.
All these temps will be close to record highs, running 15° to 20° above the average temp for late February.
Let’s unpack those rain chances from the crap-app posted above.
Models remain inconsistent in predicting this event. One model (the GFS) thinks most of the rain will go south of us. The other model (the Euro) also has most of the rain south of us, but thinks we will get some rain during the day. The NAM3 model is getting into range (it’s posted below, looking at the wee hours of Tuesday morning through lunch), and it too has very little/no rain for us. It’ll be a cloudy day for sure, but for now (check back on this) my gut says only a small amount of rain Tuesday.
North winds and clearing skies = big time cool down.
A boring weather pattern will be (yawn) interrupted by some rain late Tuesday night.
No severe weather or other shenanigans expected.
No rain is expected; but remember, next weekend is too far away to make any promises.
A Cold Front Arrives Today
Upper 60°s, clouds, humidity, and a small chance of a light sprinkle will linger this morning. All this will end this afternoon thanks to a cold front. You’ll know when the cold front is here when rain picks up and/or the wind starts blowing steady and chilly from the north. After that happens, the rain chance is over. We don’t expect rain after lunch.
