Sunday Afternoon Technical Discussion
Synopsis: Today's warm temperatures will be short-lived, as a disturbance passing by to our north tomorrow will usher in much colder air along with very gusty winds. High pressure will slowly drift off the east coast as we move into midweek, sending unseasonably warm air to the entire state for the latter half of the work week.
Short-term: Tomorrow is probably the most difficult day to forecast for the upcoming week. A strong clipper system will pass by to our north tomorrow with a very sharp cold front trailing it. High temperatures will come early in the day tomorrow, and begin dropping after the passage of the front. This is a very sharp front and you will notice its passage. Winds will really begin to crank up with isolated snow showers forming. Wind gusts, especially over the Laurels could be in excess of 50 mph. Not too much snow will fall, outside of the typical areas of the NW and upslope areas of the Laurels, where an inch or two is possible. High pressure will be in control Tuesday, bringing mostly sunny skies to the state.
Long-term: After our quick shot of cold air on Monday and Tuesday, high pressure will slowly slide off the east coast, pumping some very warm air (relative to normal) into the region. Temperatures across a large portion of the state have a good shot at hitting 60 degrees by Friday. With enough sun and no snow cover, some southern areas may puch into the upper 60's, which is very near record values.
