One more warm and stormy day

The TOE returns on another mild early spring day with T'storms looming for much of Va. The temp was slow to rise but finally made the low 60's without the help of much sun. The front that slid south last night oozed back north and put us back in the warm air by afternoon but the big low and related cold front was headed our way to chill things back down for week's end and weekend and even into next week. Winter mix next Tuesday will usher March out like a lion.
Earth has not given up on winter.

March 16

A foggy start but the sun finally burns the low clouds away but not the higher ones. A cool late winter day but spring like days are ahead (and then summer-like).

Fat Tuesday!!

An upper 20's start and a low 50's finish is right about where we should be for early March. Lots of sun today but clouds will return tomorrow and lots more moisture will arrive late tomorrow and linger for most of Thursday.
That storm is making for a wet Mardi Gras in the Big Easy.

Rain, rain, rain

A rainy Sunday settles in with temperatures in the mid-50's and waves of moisture headed our way. Half an inch or so has fallen in central Va. with the heaviest band yet to come.
Rain gear is needed for today but it's a quick mover and should be gone by late tonight.
This will help as we try to catch up from last year's moisture deficit and the small one already building this year. More may arrive Thursday.

Roller Coaster Week

The blog returns after a wild weather week typical for the Feb/March boundary. A wild storm line Monday, cool clear Tuesday, mid 60's Wednesday, mid 40's Thursday and Friday brings clouds and sun and 50's with Saturday setting up for a wet Sunday by warming quickly.
Southwest breezes and haze make warn of a change to come. Raincoats for Sunday (or be good with an umbrella).
