Cold… Chilly… Cool… Mild

March 3rd, 2009 at 8:07 am by Jamie Jarosik under Weather

That is the sequence of temperatures this week.  You don’t need me to tell you we started off COLD on Monday, and today won’t be too much warmer.  Expect highs in the upper 20s, but at least we will get to see some sunshine!

On Wednesday, afternoon temperatures will be a bit warmer, although still chilly.  We should be near 40 degrees.  As that slightly warmer air moves in, a little moisture will as well:

700mb Relative Humidity, Valid WED 7am.

700mb Relative Humidity, Valid WED 7am.

That could mean a few spotty flurries early Wednesday.

We get even warmer Thursday, with highs in the 50s… but a frontal boundary is going to be in the area Thursday through the weekend.  In this type of set-up, frontal location is everything in terms of if we will see rain… and how warm it will get.  We will be watching the trends in the models, and will tweak the forecast as needed:

 

Surface Pressure, Valid Friday 7pm.

Surface Pressure, Valid Friday 7pm.

 

Right now, it looks like at least Friday we will be on the “warmer” side of the front… so that would mean lower 60s for us, with a slight chance of showers.  We’ll continue to keep you posted on the forecast on-air and online!

If you are ready for warm, Spring temperatures… you will be happy to know this:  While we start the month with average highs in the lower 40s… our average highs climb into the mid 50s by the end of March!
