-Sorry that i haven't blogged once for the past 2 days, more computer trouble, which i hope are fixed by Wednesday, but i make no promises!
Part 1:
Well I'm sure you've all enjoyed the temperatures that were ranging from 65 degrees to the extreme interior Northeast, to almost 80 degrees toward the southern end of of the Northeast... Today, you've probably already felt, it is noticeably cooler but still magnificent, with nothing but sunshine... You've probably also noticed the wind has picked as well... Well these are signs that a cold front is nearing the area, but its much more complicated then that... You see, the cold front which is currently in the mid sections of our country is very long extending from far up north, all the way through TX... In fact, believe it or not, Dallas TX is getting snow out of this!!!! Maybe as much as an inch or two... Anyway, the front will move rather rapidly across the country and as it does so, it will continue to grow until it splits into two pieces... The northern half of the front will quickly retreat back to the north, and the southern half will curl up into a ball shape and diminish off to the south, but will manage to make it all the way to parts of the Appalachian mountains and even parts of NJ's higher elevations to give some really, really cold rain, and possibly some very wet snow!!!! This will all take place tomorrow, as temperatures rapidly drop and clouds increase late tonight, with rain when you wake up or shortly after... For much of the northeast highs will only be in the mid and upper 50's with some 60's to the southern end of the Northeast, and some upper 40's to the Northern edge of the northeast... Once the "messed up front" comes through temperatures will remain in the 50's until an even colder shot of air comes in around the 24th or on Wednesday where Lot's of people may be back into the 40's, and even some lower 40's may be popping up in the northern suburbs of the Big Cities!!!! Then we have to watch a storm around the 28th, which may bring us, Yes some wintry weather and even colder air... But its too far in the future to say exactly what will happen, so for now, it will just be something to watch...
Part 2:
Well as mentioned in part 1, it will be quite rainy tomorrow for most of you, and into parts of Tuesday... In fact it seems to start late tonight, for D.C., and Baltimore, it will probably have already started raining by 9 or 10 PM... In and around Philly the rain will start closer to Midnight, and in and around NYC, Hartford, expect it to be raining by 1 or 2 AM and In Boston it will start raining by 3 or 4 AM... The rain will start on the lighter side, but will become noticeably heavier as the day wears on... Most areas in the Northeast will have a steady rain by noon, and a fairly heavy rain by 2 or 3 PM... The rain will continue at a steady rate throughout the night with totals approaching around an 1.5 inches to 2 inches... The one aspect that I am UN sure of is the wind... It seems tomorrow winds will be fairly calm, between the 5-10 mph range... On Tuesday is when the winds may pick up, but keep in mind, it will be no where near the wind that hit us last weekend, winds will probably be in the 10-20 mph range... Now I-80 and south the rain will probably just turn into some showers on Tuesday... North, some AM moderate to heavy rain changing to just some showers in the afternoon, with the exception of the interior areas... So get the umbrella ready, because it will be a wet one...
Part 3:
Well if you follow this blog, you know just how much we have been talking about a "winter comeback" these past weeks... So is Winter ever coming back? After all, it is officially spring so we're in the clear, right? Well technically it is spring, but that doesn't mean we can't have wintry weather... In fact, if you really follow this blog, you should know we've been talking about the 21st for a long time... Today is when the temperatures finally start to lower back down... You probably noticed it got cooler today, and it will get even colder tomorrow, and it pretty much looks like the long range forecast points to temperatures remaining in the 40's and 50's for weeks to come... The models still are showing more possibility's for snow, and that is what we are really going to watch for over the next couple of weeks... But for now, hold your gardening tools, because it looks like, yes, winter may make its return...
Part 4:
Good evening to everyone in Westport!!!! We had another really nice day, with temperatures right around 65 degrees, and all sunshine... Don't get used to it though, because by tomorrow it will be rainy and chilly with temperatures only around 60, which isn't too bad, and some pockets of heavy rain toward the late morning and afternoon hours... The rain should begin after midnight tonight, and continue through the day tomorrow and end by later in the afternoon Tuesday with the worst of the storm probably being Tomorrow evening into the overnight hours... Wind shouldn't be much of a problem until Later Tuesday and into Wednesday where wind gusts could get up to 40 mph, and I'm sure we've all had enough of wind! Speaking of which, if we look back a week ago today, our town was quite a mess!!!! Even today, we still have branches down everywhere, and even some trees still being cleared!!!! Anyway, enough about last week... Tuesday expect the wind to make temperatures feel more like the mid 40's, which compared to last weeks and the weekends weather, it'll feel freezing!!!! Seems like late this week and into much of next week temperatures will remain chilly, and models still point to some wintry weather in the future so we shall see... That's it for now... Keep it here for more on the wild weather...
-Sorry there are no pictures today, but i will continue to upload more... If you haven't already seen the photos and videos from last weekends crippling storm, or you would like to see them again, just go back to the last blog post!
