Discussion
There have been two major coastal storms over the past five days or so in the Mid-Atlantic region and our stormy March weather pattern is not over yet. As far as temperatures are concerned, it looks like it’ll remain below-normal on average for the next several days and that pattern might even last through much of the remainder of the month. In terms of storm threats, the next one of concern will move into the Southeast US later this weekend. It looks like it will become a strong storm and ultimately ingest plenty of Gulf of Mexico moisture. Some computer model forecasts then shunt this system just to our south and east early next week, but I think this overall pattern certainly allows for the possibility of a left turn up the coast...stay tuned.
