In this episode we’ll look at what to expect the next several days. The unseasonable warmth is done, and there could even be some snow
Hi everyone, it's Jason and welcome to the J.C. Weather Podcast. It's Wednesday, March 11th, and we have had an impressive ridge in the Eastern U.S., but it is about to break down.
Now, yesterday we made it to 80 degrees. That is the earliest 80 degree day of the season. The previous record was March 13th back in 1990, but now it is March 10th, and we also broke the daily record high of 79 yesterday.
Now, today was just a tad cooler. We did see the ridge start to break down a little bit, and we also again had this really incredible contrast with the Marine layer.
And we've seen that the past couple of days. So we had yesterday, New York City reaching 80, and then if you went across Eastern Long Island, there were places that were in the upper 50s.
And today also had a big temperature gradient, although it wasn't quite as warm, but that being said, we are going into a cooler patterner.
So if you liked the warmth, it is going to say goodbye for a time, and it looks like with the Enso Neutral pattern that we are going into, and the MJO going into Phase 8, looks like we are going to have quite a bit of cold air dumping into the Eastern U.S. for the second half of the month.
So we've got a cold front coming through this evening, and we've already had a few hit or miss scatter showers and thunderstorms.
They're going to be weakening, though, because of the Marine layer. That front, though, even though the bands of showers and storms are going to weaken, it's going to be slow to exit.
So it's going to storm nearby. It's going to kind of, it's going to become an anifront. We're going to see precipitation redevelop behind it.
So first batch of showers, and maybe if I understand that, that will have played itself through by about 3 a.m.
But we're going to see steady light rain break out probably during rush hour and continue into early Thursday evening.
Now, there is strong cold infection behind this front. So temperatures and you wake up will be in the low 50s.
But what you'll call it by will be that will be in the mid 30s by the evening, and ultimately Friday morning will wind up in the upper 20s.
So tomorrow afternoon, we'll see some periods of wet snow start mixing in after about two o'clock.
So unpaved surfaces could see upwards of an inch of snow. But again, the ground is very warm also.
So that's going to be one of a few reasons why this is not going to be that big a deal overall.
But just goes to show you how we can go and we do this more often than you'd think in March.
We can go from temperatures in the 70s to snow in 24 hours.
So that goes by and Thursday night will wind up in the low 30s.
Now Friday, call it mostly sunny, then turning mostly cloudy. We've got unstable air a loft.
So some self-destructive sunshine and we'll get into the upper 40s.
And Friday night will fall back into the upper 30s. It'll be breezy though. So a little feel closer to 30.
Now Saturday is looking like a nice day. We were expecting a lot of sunshine and highs in the low 50s.
And Saturday night we'll see some clouds roll in. We'll have lows in the mid 30s. Sunday, that's the cloudy half of the weekend.
Although, and it is a couple of degrees cooler also ahead of the next warm front will just be in the upper 40s.
And we'll see some rain developing in the evening.
So all in all, we are going to be busy in the weather department and spring is holding true to form every day is different than the next.
