SEND IN THE CLOUDS

Even though the heart of the warmth doesn’t make it here until Sunday and Monday, the best day for sun-bathing may very well be on Saturday. As we move later in the day Saturday and into the evening, cloud cover will be on the increase and a nearby warm front will lead to light rainfall Saturday night; although it will be quite warm Sunday, stubborn cloudiness may hold on for the balance of the day, even as rain chances dwindle beginning very early Sunday.


Intellicast:

Our next shot of rain would then arrive Wednesday, and with a strong front and warm temps, the first offering of widespread thunderstorm activity may be a problem in the afternoon. Depending on the timing, some storms could become nasty, but this will need updating later this weekend.

The Accuweather 25-day forecast has “warmed” to the idea that the mild temps only slowly abate between Monday and Wednesday, and this is well supported by other forecasts. Thereafter, they show a long cool period from the 20^th onward. This is something  to watch for as we move past mid week next week, but be warned, there is conflicting evidence to suggest that warmth makes another rally for late month.

Until then however, beginning in ernest Saturday and through about Wednesday, the well-advertised parade of warm air will re-assert itself and give many people around these parts a flashback to…eh …well…last month?
