A line of storms is expected to arrive in our two counties in the 1-4 pm range, carrying a risk for damaging straight-line winds and possibly a tornado, although the risks are low. HRRR model from 11 am – 8 pm.
Low-End Severe Risk Today, Stay Connected
Low Chance of a Strong to Severe Storm Saturday
It will feel absolutely nothing like early March today. As of 11a we are already at 79°, likely on our way to breaking the daily record high of 83° – around 25° above average.
There’s a very low chance a quick shower passes thru this afternoon – but most of us will stay dry, if not all of us.
Strong Storms Possible Saturday PM, Well Above Average Temps Continue
Our abnormally warm stretch of weather continues. Today (Thursday) and Friday both near 80°, which will threaten the daily high records. We “cool” down a bit on Sunday post-cold front, but warm right back up into the mid to upper 70s by early next week.
Near Record Warmth This Week, Showers/Storms Likely Saturday
We’ll be on daily record temperature watch over the next several days, starting today.
Wednesday –> Forecast = 80° | Record = 84° (1976)
Thursday –> Forecast = 80° | Record = 80° (1910)
Near Daily Record Highs Wed. – Sat., Unsettled Pattern Returns Saturday
Rain should start to taper off this afternoon, clearing out by this evening. Clouds will hang around all day, keeping temperatures down all day. Today will be our “coolest” day for the foreseeable future.
Proving The Groundhog Wrong, Heavy Rain Potential Next Weekend
High temperatures will be well above average this week, nearly 20-25° above our average highs by the end of the week – threatening daily record highs.
How about that – groundhog.
Rain chances return early Monday morning, continuing on/off thru the afternoon. Just some light showers, with rainfall totals only around 0.25″.
Spring-Like Temperatures Prevail, Wet Pattern Ahead
Very nice weather ahead for this weekend – especially considering it is late February.
Highs in the mid 60s today and Sunday, we are treated with low 70s on Saturday. Mornings will still be fairly cool. No rain expected.
Heavy Rain Possible Tonight/Thurs. Morning, Warm Weather Continues
Fairly nice and mild thru the afternoon today – the sun will occasionally be able to peek thru the clouds.
Our rain chances return later today. The overall timing of the system has moved up a bit, with rain expected to move in around sunset this evening but moving out sometime Thursday morning.
Rain Wednesday PM + Thursday, Warmer Temps Stick Around
Although it’ll be fairly chilly today – we do have a low-end fire danger today due to gusty winds and low relative humidity. Be extra cautious if you plan on having any sort of outdoor fire today.
Gradual Warming Trend This Week, Wet Thursday
Most of us have seen some flurries this morning. Those will continue to be possible over the next couple of hours – but no impacts expected, just cool to see. If you are snow-deprived, you can find some pictures from the Northeast, where from NYC to Boston they are experiencing a blizzard.
