3/22/12 One more hot day, then a gradual return to normal.

All good things must come to an end.  And our streak of warmth and summer heat will come to an end today as a slow shift in the weather pattern returns to a more March like flow.

Temperatures will fall though to just slightly above normal by next week, and no major cold out breaks are foreseen, although after several 80 degree days, it will seem to be much colder.


Thursday will be the warmest day of the warm streak!  I would not be surprised to see a 90 in a few locations.
Friday will be cooler, as a weak cold front crosses the region. However, the air behind it will still be 25 degrees above normal. A few clouds and a possible sprinkle may be possible as the front passes, but it is expected to remain dry.

High pressure off the Carolina coast is ushering in warm air into the Great Lakes, as air around High pressure is clockwise, the flow then turns west and warms into New England.  This type of set up is typical in the summer months

The same weather map is shown for Monday, High pressure is replaced with Low off of Canada. The flow, is counter clockwise around Low pressure and will usher in colder air into the Northeast US come Monday and Tuesday.
