Good Wednesday all!
Today is going to be quite nice, albeit somewhat chilly as highs will be trapped in the mid-50s before we warm things up for later in the week. Tomorrow and Friday are the picks of the week for sure, as it will be sunny and easily in the 60s. The weekend is a mixed bag. It will feature highs in the 60s, but rain will be around in the morning on Saturday and the evening on Sunday. By Monday, temps could hit 70!! If we do, it would be the first time since October 17, 2013! Beyond that, however, a nor'easter takes aim at our area for the middle of next week. This would be all rain (don't worry!) and is far from certain, so all I can do is tell everyone to keep checking the forecast! If anyone is interested, one very long range model (the GFS) is showing a snowstorm for April 21 (that's one week from Monday). For a large number of reasons, I highly disagree with it, but will follow it just in case. Last year, some of my readers may remember we were very close to having a snowstorm on Memorial Day, so one never knows!
Today in weather history- April 9, 1953- The first tornado ever recorded on Doppler Radar is recorded in Illinois. This ushers in a new era of tornado forecasting, as today tornadoes are largely tracked by identifying "radar signatures", or a general appearance on radar.
