The stubborn “closed” upper low that has been impacting our weather since the weekend will finally slide to the northeast today as it “opens up” enough aloft to get captured by the polar jet. As a result, our weather will improve today featuring plenty of sunshine with comfortably warm conditions. A cold front will then drop slowly southeastward on Thursday crossing the Great Lakes and reaching the Mid-Atlantic region by late in the day. At the same time, a new upper-level low will develop over the Mid-Atlantic region and surface low pressure is likely to form along the cold frontal boundary zone. The end result should be more showers and thunderstorms around here from later tomorrow into Friday and perhaps even a period of steadier rain. The weekend and early part of next week are shaping up quite nicely with increasing amounts of sunshine expected on Saturday and mostly sunny skies on Sunday and Monday. Beyond that, another unsettled period develops in the Mid-Atlantic region by later Tuesday and Wednesday of next week with a Gulf system likely to ride up along the Atlantic seaboard.

The impact from a major spring storm will wind down today and it’ll turn out to be milder compared to the chill of yesterday with afternoon highs not far from 60 degrees. Even warmer weather arrives on Thursday and continues into the weekend with afternoon highs of 70+ degrees and then 80+ degrees is possible by early next week. While much of the time will be rain-free, there can be isolated showers each of the next few afternoons as the atmosphere will remain somewhat unstable.

Weather played an important role in the 1912 disaster of the sinking of the Titanic and it likely played a direct role in another disaster that took place 25 years later – at least that is the prevailing belief. On May 6th, 1937, while the German passenger airship LZ 129 Hindenburg was attempting to land at the Lakehurst Naval Air Station in New Jersey, a flame appeared on the outer cover of the rear of the ship. Within 34 seconds, the entire airship was consumed by fire and the golden age of airship travel was over.

The threat of showers and thunderstorms will re-develop in the Tennessee Valley by later tonight and Wednesday and it looks like it’ll be another extended period of unsettled weather. An upper-level low pressure system will slowly edge into the Northeast US later today and then another upper-level trough will edge this way from the southwestern states.

A “closed-off” upper-level low pressure system will continue to produce bands of showers today in the Mid-Atlantic region and there can be some strong thunderstorm activity as well during the afternoon and evening hours. The stubborn “closed” upper low will edge to the northeast on Wednesday as it “opens up” enough to get captured by the polar jet and our weather should improve at mid-week though a shower or two cannot be ruled out.
A cold front will then drop southeastward on Thursday crossing the Great Lakes and reaching the Mid-Atlantic region by late in the day. At the same time, another upper-level low will develop over the Mid-Atlantic region and surface low pressure is likely to form along the cold frontal boundary zone. The end result could be more showers and thunderstorms around here from later Thursday into Friday and perhaps even a period of steadier rain. The weekend could turn out to be pretty decent with increasing amounts of sunshine on Saturday and mostly sunny skies on Sunday. However, upper-level lows are notorious for throwing some curve balls to the weather forecaster so not quite ready yet to give the “all-clear” signal about the weekend.
