7:30 AM ET, FEB 26 - Now that the winds are pretty much out of here, it's time for a quick early-week warmup. Today will be a rather uninteresting weather day in terms of headlines, but after the warmth/thunderstorms/rain/snow/wind of the past few days, it's not the worst thing to have a quiet day. High pressure will continue to build into the area, and the sinking air will allow skies to clear out for a mostly sunny day. Once that high pressure slides off the Eastern Seaboard, the winds will turn southerly, and as has always been true, any time we get a southerly-southwesterly flow around here, the temperatures tend to warm up and we get some milder air to build into the region. I think Monday and Tuesday will both be very nice days, although we should start to see some clouds approach our region later on Tuesday as the next storm system enters stage left on Wednesday.
Wednesday looks cool and rainy so far. It now appears that cold air will be present enough at the onset of the storm to keep temperatures (and thus, instability) down. I'm looking at a more "showery" solution... an on-and-off sort of rainfall with cool temperatures throughout the day. That could always change to a heavier rain solution, so stay tuned. We can look forward to a quiet end to the week, but it looks like at least the start of the weekend will be wet. Sunday may also wind up cloudy, too, but there is still time for those details to be ironed out.
Normally, on Sundays, one of my favorite long-term meteorologists to follow, Larry Cosgrove, issues his WeatherAmerica newsletter. Looks like he got it done yesterday evening, and here's the link: WeatherAmerica Newsletter. I think it's a good read and he offers some good information in his long term segment. I also recommend following WxRisk on Facebook for more good long-range weather predictions. He also releases snow maps when storms threaten. That's it for now. Enjoy a nice Sunday and a beautiful start to the work week!
