Most of country nice, except our area, socked in by clouds from the still cold near-by Atlantic and Easterly flow. Perfect view of the low level stratus clouds https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/conus_band.php?sat=G16&band=GEOCOLOR&length=24

Interesting that recent March months have been way too warm for snow, borrowed this from bluewave. It was safe to say that with the collaspe of the - AO snow probabilities in March were pretty nill. The cold stormy window has shifted out West this month, but overall totally went poof. Many areas of the country were in the 70's two days ago.

super evident passage here

Back door front moved through last hour. Temp drop to 45 F and winds East at 12 mph.

My location the winds are still South. Interesting, I do not see any cloud cover in normal sat view, or even enhanced. Sat does show the East to West sunset .

Moderate wind threat later Sunday and Sunday night. Mount Holly AFD LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Strong low pressure lifts into Canada, and this drags a strong cold front through the Great Lakes Saturday night, and will be over the Ohio Valley down through the Gulf Coast states on Sunday. A tight southerly pressure gradient will develop between high pressure over the Atlantic Ocean and low pressure north of the Great Lakes over the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. Strong winds aloft will be associated with this approaching system, with a potential 50 to 60 kt low level jet that moves across the region Sunday afternoon and evening, and then a 100+ kt jet streak following behind Sunday night. During the day, south winds will increase to 20 to 30 mph with 35 to 45 mph gusts. A Wind Advisory may be needed.

I love this weather without bugs so far. Excellent day for a walk, run or bike.

Thinking ahead to surfing and body boarding it apears the beach replenishment off of my fav spot in North Wildwood NJ has settled over the winter months reducing the sand bar and allowing waves to pass over and then break in the near by surf zone. I am very excited to think about mid June as a starting point to go in without a wet suite. https://northwildwood.com/north-wildwood-surf-cams/ This morning looks pretty there. here are the obs 6/5mm wetsuit 44 °F 49ºF Waist to head 3-5FT POOR TO FAIR 2.8FT8s SE125º 0.8FT2s NNE21º Cross-shore wind 13ktsNNE 27kts gust

Interesting that a UV index of 3 to 4 after winter can really give you a burn in little time. Skin tone ( olive complexion ) can add time before you burn, maybe upwards of an hour. But, we are only going up now so get ready for much higher UV index in the month aheads. Tampa, Fla. already at a 10 index today.

That was nice of you ! Yesterday was a spectacular weather day if you love the sun and warmer temps !

Is that you in the video mappy ? By the way, that looks like an awesome site, and what a lovely view all around.

Interesting still below 60 F here. other stations much warmer. Reading PA, and Baltimore at 63 to 64 degreeF

WPC still going bullish with rainfall. Mount Holly AFD going with likely probs for rainfall ( heavy showers with thunder ) on Sunday and Sunday evening with the passage of the cold front, then much cooler and drier. Severe potential at this point seems limited, but worth monitoring as stated in the AFD.

Increasing odds for significant rainfall on Sunday

Last two years epic rain events in May to early July combined with early season humidity to yield tomato blight and other garden issues. Will be interesting to see what this summer provides rain-wise.

Got some help from a couple University master gardens and suggested blight resistant tomato plants. I pre placed order from Burpee. Hoping for better results this year. Also changing the location as well.

37 F. Here. Rather chilly at the local Wawa. Looking forward to an awesome high of 64 today.

SE cashes in again. Going to get dry again here.

-NAO is useless without other drivers lining up this time of year. Next winter should be interestng.

Models showed warmth from two weeks ago, snow threats were never going to happen with the AO sky high and no real useful blocking. Starting to get the WAR up and running. Onto to real Spring weather.

Most model busts happen in a Nina. This winter was notorious for rather dynamic TPV movements and non-movements.

Delaware screw zone.

Soil moisture levels are very low, might get feedback drought and extreme heat this summer.

Fire Watch posted, it's going to be a long summer.

If you are bored this is a great post, 16 posts actually. https://x.com/MikeTFox5/status/1895280190730776953 Talks about the cold, possible snow, SSWE, high wind threat later next week and the possible weekend coastal storm next weekend.
