**Severe weather threat(s)...additional cold air outbreaks...stratospheric warming impact...recap of weekend's dramatic "back door" cold frontal passage**

Paul Dorian

Strong-to-severe thunderstorms are a threat later today and tonight across much of the eastern US including in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor as a strong cold front pushes eastward towards the Atlantic seaboard. This same frontal system resulted in numerous damaging wind gusts on Sunday across the Midwest/Mississippi Valley with a few tornadoes reported there as well and that same part of the nation will likely have a repeat performance of severe weather on Wednesday. In fact, numerous severe weather outbreaks are on the table for the month of April largely as the result of a recent stratospheric warming event which, in turn, enhances the likelihood for additional cold air outbreaks into the central and eastern states setting up “battle zone” regions. Finally, we’ll revisit the passage of a “back door” cold front this weekend that impacted the northeastern states and, in some locations, there were record-breaking temperature swings.

7:00 AM | *A flirtation with 80 degrees on Thursday afternoon*

Paul Dorian

The next few days will feature warm and dry weather across the region and temperatures by tomorrow afternoon could soar to near 80 degrees for highs which would be in record-breaking territory. The weekend can turn cooler with the chance of shower activity, but likely nothing too significant in terms of overall rainfall amounts.

7:00 AM | *A very comfortable week as we wind down the month of March*

Paul Dorian

An overall milder weather pattern this week which will bring us to near 70 degrees for highs this afternoon by early next week and then potentially to the middle or upper 70’s by Wednesday and Thursday. Changes may arrive here by the end of the week with the arrival of a frontal system raising the chance for showers and cooler air is likely to follow.

*Stratospheric warming to result in additional cold air outbreaks Great Lakes-to-Northeast US...baseball season gets fully underway on Thursday (3/27) with plenty of cold weather early season games*

Paul Dorian

An on-going stratospheric warming event that began in late February increases the chance for additional cold air outbreaks as we wind down the month of March from the Great Lakes/Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US. In fact, the typical lag time between a stratospheric warming event over the polar region and its impact on US temperature patterns suggests there may very well be cold air outbreaks to deal with in this part of the country at least until the middle of April. As it turns out, big-league baseball gets underway in earnest in one week’s time on Thursday, March 27th, and the early part of the season may feature plenty of cold weather games thanks in large part to the on-going big-league stratospheric warming event. In addition, the influx of colder-than-normal air masses in coming weeks keeps hope alive across the northern states for those wishing for more snow...yes, even though spring season is now officially underway.
