Good morning all and HAPPY SPRING TO ALL- The vernal equinox is today at 12:57 PM and today will feel very spring-like indeed with very nice temps in the mid 50s and AM thunderstorms becoming sunny in the afternoon! Enjoy it while you can today and tomorrow though, as Saturday a cold front moves through with scattered snow showers before we re-enter the freezer and see temps in the 20s for highs yet again! To add insult to injury, the recent model trends have been to bring the nor'easter into southern New England as a rather large snowstorm. I disagree with these solutions for the present time, simply because I would need to see some movement of the high pressure over New England to be convinced that the storm actually can make it that far north. Regardless, I won't feel confident enough to make a forecast for this until Sunday night, so stay tuned is all I can really say for now- it is possible we get one last hurrah from this winter!
Today in weather history- March 20, 1954- A tornado that hits the Tinker Air Force base in Oklahoma City prompts the first official forecast for tornadoes after the ban on the word had been lifted. Five days after this, a tornado is successfully forecasted (albeit luckily) for the first time, and tornado forecasts have been issued regularly by NOAA ever since this date.
