Wednesday, April 15th, marks the 114th anniversary of the sinking of the Royal Mail Ship (RMS) Titanic which took place in 1912, and the weather played an important role. By studying weather maps and written records from that time, some definitive conclusions can be drawn about the weather during the trip across the Atlantic, and there are also some interesting relatively new theories involving atmospheric conditions and their possible effects.

The weather pattern remains quite summer-like for the next few days with the middle and upper 80’s on the table for afternoon highs. There will be a couple chances of showers and thunderstorms with one threat later Thursday and then another later Saturday as a cool front approaches the area.

Our significant warmup continues for the next two days and there can be daily high temperature records set in some areas along the I-95 corridor. A band of showers and thunderstorms developed late yesterday and impacted parts of northern Maryland last evening and a repeat performance can take place late today/early tonight. The unseasonably warm weather pattern will begin to breakdown this weekend and a strong cold front will approach the area by Saturday night/Sunday bringing with it a threat of showers. Much cooler air pushes into the northeastern states for the early part of next week and temperatures could drop into the middle 30’s late Monday night/early Tuesday morning.

The next couple of days will remain on the mild side, but the late week offers up some big changes. A strong system will likely impact the region from Thursday night to Saturday morning, and it could turn out to be cold enough for some snowfall; especially, across nearby higher elevation locations.

A significant warmup began in the eastern states on Monday and the next few days will feature unseasonably warm conditions in the Mid-Atlantic region with record high temperatures a possibility in some areas. The warmup will last through the work wee, but then a strong cold front will approach the east coast by Sunday paving the way for a colder-than-normal air mass to reach the northeastern states by the early part of next week. This may not be the end of the chillier air masses as signs point to additional outbreaks from Canada as we progress to the last week of April.
In terms of (much needed) rainfall, a complex of showers and thunderstorms developed in the overnight hours over the Great Lakes and some of this activity will likely re-develop later today in the Mid-Atlantic region. The chance of showers and thunderstorms later today will be primarily to the north of the PA/MD border; however, an impact across our northern suburbs cannot be ruled out.

Most have been waiting for this kind of warmup in the eastern states following several false starts this season, but this may end up being a little too much on the extreme side. Not only are daily high temperature records in jeopardy this week in the Mid-Atlantic region with 90+ degrees on the table, but a few spots could experience their highest April temperatures ever recorded although it will be tough to beat the heat wave of April 1976. This warmup should last well into the upcoming weekend, but there are strong signs that another chilly air outbreak is destined to reach the northeastern part of the country by early next week. In fact, there are signs that additional colder-than-normal air masses will impact the central and eastern states during the last week of April at the same time a teleconnection index known as the Madden-Julian Oscillation or MJO shifts into a colder-than-normal phase for this time of year.
