Discussion
Not sure if you can postpone the beginning of spring, but if it were possible, this is a case where it should be done. Actually, spring has officially begun this morning if you take a look at the calendar; however, there is no spring-like weather pattern in sight. A blocking pattern in the upper atmosphere will keep us generally below normal through the rest of March and perhaps well into the month of April.
In the near term, an area of low pressure will form later today along a secondary cold front as it heads towards the east coast and the low will likely produce snow showers around here late tonight and early Thursday. Slick spots are quite possible for the morning commute as a coating to an inch or so of snow could form on grassy areas and untreated road surfaces with low temperatures overnight ending up just below freezing. Cold high pressure from Canada will then control the scene to close out the work week and begin the weekend with temperatures remaining below normal for this time of year. A storm will form in the southeastern states late in the weekend and it’ll have to be monitored for a possible turn up the coast early next week which could give us the chance for rain or snow on Monday.
