The headline is right. This coming week will feature some soaking wetness, some cool temperatures, then some sun and very warm temperatures. Yes, we may have temperatures soaring into the 80s while Denver digs out from by next weekend. Isn’t spring fun? During my last update early in the week, I mentioned that it would be wise to not underestimate that ridge off the east coast. I felt it would not allow the weekend system to be suppressed. Well, it did, but not exactly that way I thought. The upper trough in the central states, is essentially “splitting.” A smaller piece of energy is moving through today (not Sunday) producing showers. But a bigger piece is being left behind to form a cut-off low. With a smaller piece moving through, things moved faster, thus the showers today and not tomorrow. Also, with a bigger piece left behind, there is trouble brewing for early next week. This cut off low will meaner slowly eastward/southeastward to the Carolina coastline, where it will develop a low pressure area that will entrain energy from the Caribbean. This will bring some gusty coastal winds and lots of rain to the Mid-Atlantic south of Maryland/Delaware. The big ridge will prevent this storm from drifting east off the coast. Then as another trough builds in the west, the closed upper low on the east coast will begin moving northward giving us a soaking rain on Tue. The question remains how much? At this time I would expect at least .50” with potential for 1.5”+, depending on track of this storm. After this storm the upper ridge moves in for Thu – Sun. A weak front will try to move through on Thu but it won’t do much. Behind that the heat builds. 80s are expected Fri, possibly Sat and Sun depending on how far south a boundary from Canada moves. A strong storm, that will bring a snowstorm to Denver, will be moving in on Sun/Mon period with some heavy rain and/or severe thunderstorms. To summarize:
