4/12- Nice weather until midweek, watching a nor'easter

Good Saturday everyone!

The nor'easter I talked about last night appears to be coming a tad later in the week, which would result in a rainstorm. I am still in storm watch mode due to how far off it is, but I think the odds are less likely. As I said- for that to happen, everything has to be perfect because of how late it is. Today, though, we'll see temps in the high 60s or low 70s, tomorrow will be slightly warmer (maybe 72 instead of 70). Monday looks AMAZING- HIGHS BETWEEN 75 and 80 and sunny skies! The price, however, is a rather significant rainstorm on Tuesday which may feature one to two inches of the wet stuff. Wednesday and Thursday, at the moment, look frigid but dry, whereas Friday could feature a fairly significant rainstorm. Now, for that storm to become snow...it would have to come about 24 hours sooner than currently modeled. While not impossible, it is far less likely now...and I will end storm watch mode if I don't see a significant movement later tonight. Enjoy the first day of April break for many!


Today in weather history- April 12, 1815- Mt Tambora erupts and launches 100 tons of ash into the air, which results in a period of massive global cooling as the ash blocks the sun's energy from reaching Earth. In fact, 1816 is called "the year without a summer" because winter like conditions prevailed year-round worldwide. In our region, for example, snow was recorded in July!
