GFS wants to keep it going right into April lol It's looking like a pretty wintry Sunday as it stands now..

Maybe we catch an inch or two sat night/Sunday morning lol Temps are right around freezing when precipitation starts but drops pretty quickly overnight..It's going to be chilly either way, might as well have a little snow lol

To close out the end of the work week and last throughout the next weekend, a deep upper level trough will park itself across the eastern half of the contiguous United States. While this trough remains quasi-stagnant, multiple mid-level shortwave troughs will dive southeast towards the area from central Canada supporting multiple surface cold fronts to push across the region Friday through Sunday, which will overall support a very active weather pattern through Sunday with a conglomeration of precipitation types. P-types will range from rain to a mix of rain snow to all snow. Model guidances continue to agree upon the last cold frontal passage Saturday night/early Sunday to be the coldest push of arctic cold air, and therefore expect all precipitation Saturday night into Sunday to be all snow. Upper air pattern will begin to shift late in the weekend and into the start of the new work week, which will support a surface high and some much welcomed drier weather to the region Monday.

Yeah the GFS is not as cold as the Canadian Saturday night into Sunday but does have some impressive afternoon temps for this time of year..

12z models not really showing anything"big" but they do show some snow showers this weekend..The Canadian is more aggressive wrt precipitation and temps compared to the GFS.. After that it's even more of a crapshoot..

Here comes the usual late season cool down lol

Late next week into the weekend, models continue to trend toward an increasingly amplified pattern across the CONUS as a highly amplified ridge builds over the West, while multiple upper level shortwaves are predicted to dig southeastward from central Canada toward the northeastern U.S. eventually carving out a large trough over the eastern third of the U.S. Main upper low pulls northeast into central Quebec and elongates before eventually shearing out all together. Meanwhile several pieces of potent mid level shortwave energy will dive southeastward out of central Canada, not only maintaining, but helping to dig the eastern U.S. trough further south and keeping the chances for rain and snow in the forecast for the remainder of the period. At the surface, a series of cold fronts will cross the lower Great Lakes during this time, with models in fairly good agreement on a final cold FROPA sometime around Saturday night/early Sunday delivering a shot of very cold arctic air for by March standards, with it possibly feeling downright wintry around here by the second half of the weekend.

The story of this winter lol

Raw, chilly day with a temp of 37° and drizzle.. Noticed a little white stuff coming down on a few of the tug cams..

Rainy evening, nearing 1" liquid for the day..

We picked up a quick 0.66" of liquid(still raining), you can feel the cooler air and lowering Dps, currently 50°/48°..

On the door stop now, pitch black out, good amount of thunder..

If you go by last year for example, jays would of played the white Sox, Yankees would of played the redsox and TB/Hou would have a first round bye..The white Sox and redsox would be the home team for all 3 wildcard games .It puts more emphasis on being one of the top 2 teams lol

It went from 5 to 6. .. The previous format was the 3 division winners and 2 wildcards, who played a 1 game play in game.. New format is 3 division and 3 wildcard..The 2 best teams get a bye and the other 4 teams play a 3 game wildcard..I'm pretty sure the better team gets all the games at home for the wildcard round.. The 12-team format now will be as follows. Again, this is per league. 1 seed: Best overall record 2 seed: Second-best record among division winners Those top two seeds get byes to the second round. 3 seed: Third-best division winner record 4-6 seeds: Three best records among non-division winners, in order of record

I guess it's possible as all 4 would of made it last year if they had the extra playoff spot..

The AL east is also a real tough division, some"experts" believe 4 teams could make the playoffs but it's unlikely with those teams beating the shit out of each other 18 times a year lol

Yeah probably lol Last year it was the offense that really let them down, pitching was actually OK for the most part.. They need a bounce back year from some of their players like DJ and Torres, also need Cole to be that 300 mill pitcher he is supposed to be.. The pitching has lots of question marks after him though, like sevy who looked great at the end of last year but I'm not sure he can hold up for an entire season lol The Yankees are still looking into improving the roster so they are not really a finished product yet.. With the added playoffs spot I definitely think the Yankees get in but after that it's a total crapshoot lol

There`s a marginal risk that a few thunderstorms will produce strong gusty winds and hail this afternoon.

Today is the first day it actually feels a little humid lol DPs just south of 60° with a temp of 65°.. Some storms today?

Starting to see some blues lol

Always go with the over lol Forecast high was 64°..

Yeah it will be close, forecast high is 67°.. Probably a few 70s from roc to syr..
