 The spring….well, practically summer…wx the last 2 days here (85 and 86 record highs at KSAV, which both exceeded forecasts of lower 80s) is about to come to a very welcomed abrupt end. After also a possible record high minimum for today (won’t know til midnight…edit: it turned out to be record high low of 65), the high on Mon may be close to 40 colder and the low on Tue will be close to 40 colder with it flirting with the record 25! So, pseudo-summer record highs to mid-winter conditions/near record lows in the span of just 48 hours! It doesn’t get much more dramatic than this in the temperature swing dept and is the main reason winter is the most interesting season to track. Rarely a dull moment.

41.0 and rain, not liking the temp and saturation. 

Your 41 and rain matches the model consensus well. It shows you may not fall below 40 til midafternoon with snow starting during the evening.

Ehh, 41.5 now.  Gonna get hard to freezing. 

The model consensus has been suggesting you may bottom out just above 32 but still with snow accumulating, especially on nonpaved surfaces, starting ~4-6PM.

The wind here is putting on enough of a show for a wind advisory as the refreshing Canadian air continues to rush in with virtually cloudless skies. Winds have already gusted to as high as 44 mph at the airport! I’ve been needing to clear my roof of leaves/debris. Well, Mother Nature has done me a favor and already cleared a good portion of it today with the yard now a mess! It was ~64 at sunrise and it’s now 60.6. Looking forward to walking!

 Expecting a slow fall the rest of the afternoon as we head for low 30s by morning. Cold wx advisory is out. Tomorrow’s high is forecasted to be only in the upper 40s, which compares to yesterday’s 86. There’s a near 100% chance of a freeze tomorrow night. Expecting freeze watches soon. N FL already has them for tomorrow night.

Edit:

 I forgot to post my rainfall from last night through just after sunrise. I got 0.65”. That added to my 0.75” of Feb 15th gives me a beneficial 1.4” for the 7 day period  ending this morning.

I would kill for 60 degrees! Enjoy your walk.
