Spring-like weekend ahead, but more winter lurking not far behind

Temperatures will be quite tolerable the rest of the week under mostly sunny skies as high pressure takes the reigns. The weekend is looking fantastic with plenty of sun and mild temperatures in the mid 60s!

I wish I could say that we’re all done with the snow and ice, but more may be lurking around the corner. Several models are already eyeballing the 23rd and 24th for a coastal low that could develop and bring more snow or a wintry mix our way.

European operational model:

ecmwf_z500_mslp_us_9

European ensemble:

ecmwf-ens_z500_mslp_us_10

GFS ensemble:

gfs-ens_z500_mslp_us_34

We’re still a week away from this event so no need to be overly anxious just yet…details will certainly change and this system may even disappear entirely from the models in the coming days, but the main point is that we’re probably not done with winter just yet.
