Saturday Morning Update
It is feeling a bit like winter, and the weather map looks like it. Today, we have High Pressure in control, which is a dry air mass. But it is cold! The afternoon will remain in the 40s for the first time since March 19th.
A coastal storm and cold front we were watching to end the weekend will still be a ‘near miss’ for us. However, it may provide some rain showers on Sunday night.
Then we watch even colder air with more energy arrive early in the work week. It may carry some snow showers and flurries over the mountains by Tuesday.
One of the coldest mornings we’ve had since last winter.
High Pressure is in control. Not a strong wind, but a breeze is helping to reinforce the chilliest air we have felt since last winter.
The map has a winter feel to it, with snow breaking out across the central US. That will not reach us, but we may have some flakes in our forecast.
One of the chilliest days since last winter!

The storm winding up in eastern Maine will help pull down much colder air behind it. We will begin to feel it on Monday, and it will set the stage for much of the week.
The leading edge of the arctic blast will be pushing across the Northern US.
There will be a coastal storm (that may miss us), but it will pull down much colder air from Canada behind it.
We will feel the core of this colder air/Arctic Blast!
The upper air disturbance helping to bring this air mass in may carry enough energy to bring snow showers and flurries east of the mountains on Tuesday afternoon.
This is definitely looking like an early winter forecast.
Colder air during the week will accompany a disturbance that may bring snow flurries even into metro areas on Tuesday.
A coating of snow is possible in the mountains.
Temperatures remain below average throughout the week.

I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos and occasional other glitches. I take responsibility for my mistakes and even the computer glitches I may miss. I have made a few public statements over the years, but if you are new here, you may have missed it: I have dyslexia and found out during my second year at Cornell University. It didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree and being the first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region. One of my professors told me that I had made it that far without knowing and to not let it be a crutch going forward. That was Mark Wysocki, and he was absolutely correct! I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse. I also can make mistakes in forecasting. No one is perfect at predicting the future. All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky. There has been no editor who can check my work when I need it and have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline. Barbara Werner is a member of the web team that helps me maintain this site. She has taken it upon herself to edit typos when she is available. That could be AFTER you read this. I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me… It’s part of my charm.
