Weather It Is (It's Nice, But It Won't Stay Nice)

Good Afternoon:

The weather is certainly delightful, and it is not because it is snowing. In fact, it will be warming up another five or six degrees over the next few days.

While we blissfully bask in late winter warmth, a low pressure area will be moving across the Mediterranean.  And like a dark cloud on the horizon (actually, it is a bunch of dark clouds) can portend a "ill" tiding, the dark clouds of this storm will probably take the spring-like spring out of our steps (and mood, perhaps).

Yet, every storm has a silver lining and this one too just might.

As the storm arrives on Wednesday of next week, high pressure nosing its way across central Europe should rapidly amplify. As it ridges into northern Europe the southwest flow on the back side of this ridge will rapidly change direction and plunge southward, bringing with it winter-time cold and a shot of "winter" energy to the storm on our doorstep.

While this wintertime pulse could bring several days of rain,  there is a 15% chance that temperatures will drop cold enough to turn the rain to snow at the highest elevations either late in the week or very early the following week.

Our forecast has been on this topic for a while.  Perhaps the weather roulette wheel will come up a win.

Shabbat Shalom,
