Part 2: Spring tricks coming...

Part 4: Westport Weather...
Part 1:
Radar off Noaa.gov...
Yes across southern CT, Western CT, Rhode Island, Long Island, The Cape, and even parts of NYC you are waking up to some flurries and snow showers so finally the models got some of the snow right. Now it seems where the main land of the U.S. meets where the cape is where the heaviest snow is falling... That would be around Barnstable and eastham where 1-3 locally 4 inches are possible... West babylon, brentwood, deerpark, and Smithtown there is also some steady light snow that may leave a coating to maybe a half an inch because it was last until around the noon time. All across coastal CT we're also seeing some flurries and snow showers which will completely taper off by 10:00 AM but the clouds are likely to stick around for a while. We are finding snow showers all the way to the NJ PA border line but it will be short and only a couple flurries are expected... Philly do not be surprised if you get a couple flakes or sprinkles as well. Across NYC you are in a dry spot right now and that dry air will likely increase so for the most part your snow is over but again i would not be surprised if we saw some flurries around there as well. By the way, this low is actually over several hundred miles off the coast and to the north so this is some very far reaching moisture... Other than some snow showers there may also be a chance for some windy conditions so be careful while you are outside today. All should be set and done by 6 PM this evening across the whole Northeast region and i think you will enjoy what is up next...
Part 2:
Yes, we have been talking about this for quite a few days now and that is this hint of spring that is coming... I will tell you a lot of us south of NYC may get close to 60!!!!! and North of NYC temperatures will be climbing into the 50's and upper 40's which will feel very nice... But this warmth may introduce a new problem... And that is the flooding... Now most places across CT, Providence and Eastern MA have had 90% of there snow already melt so i think you are safe for the most part... However, Southeastern NY, The northern Half of NJ, PA, and even Upstate NY will likely experience some flooding issues this weekend and into the early and mid part of next week. It seems Sunday will be the warmest day across most of the Northeast plus it will be sunny and not much of a breeze... Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday will be warm too but slowly cooling off and by next weekend it seems the cold will return and the Big Cities will see lower 40's and the possibility for more snow so enjoy the warmth while it lasts...

I have a problem... And an annoying one at that... My computer can not go onto the Noaa software and look at the 300 hr. GFS model which i really would love to see because i keep hearing about this 17th storm which i cannot find! By Saturday or Sunday it should start to show up on some of the models that don't show that much of a long range forecast so i will be able to have a better idea of what we are really dealing with... For now i can tell you that this storm seems to have the potential to be another monster snowstorm around the 16th or 17th of march... According to Henry Margusity, he thinks this may be the finale storm... Lets hope so!!!!
Part 4:
Good morning Westport, i hope you are all enjoying the light and occasional snow flurries that are falling around the area this morning... That is tapering off and should be completely gone by around 10:00 AM... By this afternoon it will still be very cloudy and that should last into late tonight before finally clearing out... Now by tomorrow i am sure you will all be much happier because our "spring trick" will begin... Tomorrow temperatures should be rising to the mid and upper 40's and by Sunday we should hit at least 50 with plenty of sunshine!!! Monday it will begin to cool down again but still look for upper 40's last until Wednesday... Here is where the bad news kicks in... It seems late next week and into next weekend we will have to deal with cold air once again and temperatures staying right around 40 degrees... And then we may have to be watching a storm come the 16th and 17th... Right now i cannot say too much about this storm, but it will be one we certainly have to watch for snow!!!! After that we hope it really begins to warm up... and for good!!!! That's it for now... Keep it right here for more updates!!!!...
