Weather It Is (Was that too hot or too cold?)

Spring has sprung, or has it? 

We've had the warmest weather of the late winter and Friday's weather will feel downright hot.  Yet, one might be forgiven for feeling like we're headed for a roller coaster ride!

By Shabbat, it just won't feel like a Kansas summer day anymore, but more like the Middle East (particularly Israel), where our emotions can go up and down depending on the latest happenings (but, preferably up!).

We've been watching a developing winter storm for the past few days.  It is swinging through central Europe and it is headed our way.  The problem, so to speak, is that hard on its heels a faster moving pocket of energy that (in many of our ensemble forecasts) rips this late winter storm to shreds, at least in the middle atmosphere, causing our storm to lose its trough-like sharpness before blasting us with a winter chill.

There still are three ensemble members holding our for a more intense winter storm, and hence, there remains the possibility of light to moderate rain mixing with snow early next week. In any case, all the ensemble indicate that it's going to feel chilly, and our summer like weather will only be a memory, even as the week progresses into next.
