Swinging March!

After a record-breaking Wednesday high of 67°F (20°C), this morning's readings in mid teens (-10°C) accompanied by strong winds will be shocking indeed. However, over the next several days a ridge of high pressure will build over the eastern half of the nation, the winds will subside and gradually turn to west and south, bringing warmer-than-normal weather for a good part of next week. The only fly in the ointment will be some cloudiness, associated with a warmfront approaching us late on Saturday, and a tendency for onshore winds in coastal locations as the warming trend begins (this due perhaps to a slower moving high over eastern Canada). By early next week a solid southwesterly flow will get established all over the East, turning the Ides of March into a spring preview!

Today: Clear, windy, and cold with an afternoon high near 40°F (5°C) with biting northwesterly winds.

Tonight: Clear and seasonably cold with slowly diminishing winds. Lows in mid 20s (-5 to -3°C) in town, near 20°F (-7°C) in suburban locations.

Saturday: Fair with some high cloudiness increasing by afternoon. Light winds will drift from west to south and southeast. High 45°F (7°C)

Sunday: Partly sunny with morning lows near 30 (-1°C), highs in mid to upper 40s (6 to 9°C).
