Discussion
A rapidly intensifying storm this weekend will become an all-out blizzard for the Great Lakes and it will have big implications for our weather here in the Mid-Atlantic region. Rain is likely to overspread the NYC metro region early tomorrow night and evolve into a real soaker by late tomorrow night - perhaps even with a rumble or two of thunder. The rain will taper off by mid-day on Sunday and then much milder air will flow northward up along the eastern seaboard on increasingly strong winds. In fact, Sunday afternoon could turn out to be quite a spring tease with temperatures climbing to near 60 degrees. However, the warmth will be rather short-lived and those increasingly strong winds on Sunday afternoon will intensify from Sunday night into mid-day Monday with potentially damaging wind gusts of 50-60 mph.
