Discussion
A substantial warm up will begin this weekend and likely continue for a week to ten days, but we’ll have to suffer through a couple of chilly days before we get there. Colder air has pushed into the region riding in on strong NW winds on the backside of intensifying low pressure off of the Northeast US coastline. This storm will again pound the northern part of New England with snow and it’ll keep us on the blustery, chilly side into tomorrow as high pressure builds into the Mid-Atlantic region. By the weekend, this high pressure system will push off the coast and this new positioning will allow for the return of warmer air into the Mid-Atlantic - and it looks like this warm up will have some staying power right into the latter part of the month.
