Not too shabby this weekend! 58 degrees today and 54 degrees yesterday. Despite the cloudiness, the warm temps gave us a nice taste of spring and what is to come.
For the immediate future, heavy rain is on the way. A frontal system has been sitting to our west all weekend, slowly moving more north than east. Heavy precipitation in the form of both rain and snow has been falling just a 150 miles to our west but you would have never guessed it with our weekend weather. A series of low pressure systems have been developing along the front and our bubble of protection is about to end.
Light rain is already moving into the area as I write this and as we get later, the rain will get quite heavy. So heavy that the NWS has issued a Flood Watchfor our area. A good 1-3 inches will fall in a matter of 12 hours. Quite a lot of rain. Winds will be an issue too as the temperatures behind the front are quite cold compared to our 50 degree readings of the past few days.
Tomorrow will be soggy and yuck, but Tuesday and Wednesday will be nice days before more storminess returns late week.
Coming tomorrow, I will feature some Ireland weather in anticipation of my first venture to Europe!!
