Tuesday April 10 2018
You know the expression about our weather? If you don’t like the weather, just wait 15 minutes… That may be a little bit of an exaggeration, but getting four seasons in one week is a little closer to what we are aiming for now. Yesterday brought widespread light snow across our region. Temperatures were in the upper 30s and lower 40s, so nothing was sticking locally. We have one more round of light snow or flurries this morning in a more concentrated area. Once this swings through, we can focus on the warm up. In fact, we may reach the 70s within two days and I believe we have a good chance of reaching 80ºF by Friday and or Saturday. Then reality will come back sparking thunderstorms to end the weekend. Check this out:

High Temperatures
Jet Stream Outlook
The warm up will take place over the next few days. By Friday we will have a strong ridge centered off of the east coast. This will allow the temps to jump into the upper 70s. Often we end up warmer than models first show, so I think we have a good chance for the 80s both Friday and Saturday.
