With the warmth of last week, the season is winding down quickly heading into this weekend. It was certainly a season filled with twists and turns from Mother Nature.
Looking ahead to this week and the weekend, we have dueling spring/winter feels coming in with a cut-off upper level low that will keep clouds and some drizzle in the area Monday. We’ll see more pockets of sun on Tuesday and Wednesday, with temperatures bursting back into the 50’s and 60’s briefly before a low pressure moves up the coast.
As we touched on in the Long Term Views last week, we can have some interesting features come into play with cut-off lows, and potentially coastal components, which looks to be possible going into Friday. The coastal low drags in cooler air, and that may bring accumulating snows to the Poconos, Hudson Valley and southern/central Green Mountains, and maybe the Whites as the low churns off the coast Friday into Saturday. Cooler air stays settled in through the weekend.
We have a negative NAO through 4/20 and negative EPO through 4/18 – any lagging cold with this upper level low should scatter out by then, and we’ll see some moderating temperatures into the end of the month.
The family enjoyed the final ski day of the season at Saddleback on Saturday. Though a tough weather season, it was great to work together again and I look forward to our continued collaboration. Forecasts will continue through the end of the month (except for PA), or can be prorated if they’re no longer needed. We also provide summer forecasting – both daily and per request for events, weddings, concerts, etc.
Please pass along any feedback/suggestions, and we can also set up a virtual meeting if you’d like to have a discussion in the short-term. Otherwise we’ll plan on in-person summer meetings to catch up and debrief in the warmer months. There are a few more components to the wet-bulb graphing that are in the pipeline for summer development.
Stay healthy and be well! Feel free to reach out to mallory@noreasterweather.net or 207-650-9755 during the off-season with any questions. Here’s to a very snowy 2021-2022!
