Another Warm Week, Storm Ahead?

A full week of temperatures above freezing, both day and night, has ended winter sports, at least until calendar spring, and made people think more about gardening and boating. Temperatures will remain well above normal through the 19th, and this would conceivably put us in the running for the warmest March on record-- due more to the persistence of the warmth-- we have not broken any record highs. Highs this coming week will be mostly in the 50s with lows in the upper 20s to mid 30s. Right now, I'm doubtful we'll set a new warm March record because the weather pattern will change by the 19th as a storm system noves in from the southwest. Initially, this storm (if it reaches us) will bring rain, but it may end as snow.

It's uncertain how cold it might become after the next weekend (20-21), but it looks like our El Nino pattern will go away for a little while.
