yoda Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 This was in this mornings AFD from LWX High pressure will build to our north over the Great Lakes Tuesday, leading to mostly sunny skies. Temperatures will run about 10 degrees below normal, with highs for most in the upper 40s and 50s (upper 30s to low 40s mountains). A northwesterly breeze of around 20 mph will make it feel even cooler. High pressure will become centered to our north over the Southern Tier of NY Tuesday night, with a surface ridge extending southward into our area. Skies will be clear, and winds should go light or calm, setting the stage for an ideal radiational cooling night. Temperatures are forecast to drop below freezing to the northwest of I-95, with lows in the 20s for many. We may be issuing Frost Advisories and Freeze Warnings for Tuesday night into early Wednesday in some parts of our region. But this is what they said Sunday morning in the AFD Upper trough will swing across the northern Mid-Atlantic states Sunday night through Tuesday bringing chilly air for early Apr with highs 5 to 15 degrees cooler than normal. As strong Canadian high pressure settles in by Wednesday morning, expect cold temperatures with likelihood of frost and hard freeze. Since this is earlier than the median date of April 11 of the last Spring Freeze based on the latest 1991-2000 Climatology, no Frost and/or Freeze headlines are anticipated at this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to reality tomorrow but the 6-10 and 8-14 shows us all roasty toasty. Might be shaping up to be a long summer. We haven't baked under a real death ridge since 2012.

wxdude64 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Currently 27.9/17.5 at 7:45 after a 27.2 low. No warnings/advisories out this way, I think the 'growing season' doesn't start until the 25th?? Seen PLENTY of folks sticking stuff into the ground last week, WAY too early for our location and they probably got bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
