Good morning and HAPPY WEEKEND!!!!
Today is the pick of the next 7 days for sure! Highs will likely be in the high 40s all across the region with bright sunshine. The one knock on this is that yesterday's rain refroze overnight, so the roads will be very icy until we warm the temperatures up. That's the good news...the bad news is that the Polar Vortex returns for the end of the week, with negative overnight lows and highs in the low teens on Thurs and Fri! Yikes! Also important to note is that, for such a dramatic temperature swing, there has to be a storm...and this time it's Wednesday. There is a chance for a major nor'easter Tuesday night into Wednesday morning that could have far reaching impacts in the Northeast with several inches (or feet) of snow, flight delays/cancellations, and school closures for Wednesday. We are getting closer to this date now, and I should be able to throw out some early accumulation thoughts tomorrow. Until then, enjoy this mild weather before the temps plunge through the floor!
Today in weather history- February 22, 2000- A quick moving snow squall drops 3-5" of snow in the capital region, triggering a 116-car pileup, the biggest ever on the east coast. One person is killed and fifteen others are injured in the chain reaction
