Long Range Forecast from Accuweather

Henry Margusity of Accuweather had some interesting things to say in his long range forecast for the beginning of spring.

"The weather pattern will remain stormy for another couple of more weeks. I was looking at the SOI Values, and they remain above 20, which means the La Nina is still roaring away. In addition, the NAO is heading to neutral, and the PNA is going to neutral, which tells me that a zonal flow with a buckling of the jet in the Midwest and East will persist. The implications are that storms will zip through the Western part of the country and strengthen as they get out into the Plains and Midwest. Severe weather, late-season snows, and heavy rains will occur with these storms, so again, I say watch every storm for some sort of extreme event."

Looks like March won't get any quieter. Although I am sure most of our storms will be rain. But don't rule out the possibility of one last snow storm!
