Good Monday morning, WABBLES! After a messy, stormy setup this past weekend, cool temperatures and flurries have begun to replace our spring-like vibe. Let’s go ahead and dive into the details of this spring-winter battle!
Today’s Forecast
WABBLES has kissed goodbye to its spring-like weather after last night’s strong cold front moved through the region. Morning highs start chilly today with temperatures in the mid-30s, and continue to decrease to the low-30s by the afternoon.
Winter tries to make an appearance once again; some leftover moisture that has wrapped back around into the WABBLES region allows scattered snow showers to develop. These showers will move through the region throughout the morning and afternoon, accompanied by gusty northeast winds to make it feel quite blustery.
Evening temperatures hang around the low 30s before dipping into the upper 20s overnight.
Cooler Temperatures, for Now
By St. Patrick’s Day, high pressure takes over the region. Skies begin to clear, and temperatures remain cool, with highs in the mid-30s. By Tuesday evening, temperatures cool back into the low-30s before falling back into the upper 20s overnight.
Clouds begin to increase on Tuesday night as a weak clipper system out of Canada is expected to trek down into the region, increasing the chances for another round of light flurry showers.
After this system moves through the region by early Wednesday, winds shift to a southwest flow, allowing temperatures to climb back into the mid-50s. Wednesday remains quiet, as the sun shows its face again and temperatures stay pleasant.
The pattern trends warmer and calmer in the latter half of the work week as breezy southwest winds hold strong. Thursday’s temperatures reach back into the mid-60s as spring finally takes back over.
The good news is, we will start to see our normal March temperatures return by next week. The Climate Prediction Center’s 6-10 day outlook has WABBLES leaning towards slightly above average temperatures for next week.
As always, remember to stay weather aware as we work through winter and spring’s seasonal battle. You can follow us on all social media platforms to stay up to date with the current weather. That is about all from me for now; stay warm this week!
