SEVERE WEATHER RISKS WEDNESDAY ALL OF VIRGINIA, MARYLAND, MOST OF PENNSYLVANIA, NEW JERSEY, SOUTHEAST NEW YORK
Yesterday we saw some of the warmest temperatures we have seen since back in November. Today we are back in the icebox. Cold air came in one big rush Saturday afternoon and we settled this morning in the teens to near 20. Needless to say this is a very cold Sunday of sunshine, gusty winds and most highs only in the low to mid 30s. We don’t expect much to happen today other than perhaps some patchy clouds from time to time. The core of this cold air mass will be overhead tonight so under clear skies and a bit of a breeze, at least early tonight, lows by Monday morning will be in the teens to near 20 degrees and some cold spots well inland in the Hudson Valley could see lows in the single digits. Winds should drop off as the night wears on.
The weather focus this week will be on a developing storm system in the Central Plains that will be heading to the Great Lakes. This system looks like a typical early spring season storm system and that means that we will likely see an impressive early season severe weather outbreak across the Deep South Tuesday and in the Southeast US Wednesday. This also comes with elevated tornado risk both days.
