Now, just over midway through the first week of April, things still look to be on course with respect to the pattern evolution laid out in Message #1053 in this thread. Prospects for a moderate or significant snowfall are very low across the big cities of the East. Cold shots appear likely to be closer to 1 sigma below normal rather than the 2.5-3.0 sigma variety that had been occurring in March. The transition continues to feature periodic storminess. There are growing hints on the guidance that the extended range could see persistent warmer conditions develop, possibly in the April 15-20 timeframe, which would be toward the latter part of the expected duration of the transition to a spring regime.

Yes Don, totally agree. The Superstorm's cold shot was the last significant one of the year, and probably the last storm that tracked to our east/southeast. Now we're seeing the more typical Colorado/Plains lows cutting to our north. While we might have some chilly days with southerly winds and low clouds ahead of such lows, it won't be the bitter cold of March. I'm thinking April finishes -0.5 to -1; the 12z ECM and 12z GFS don't show any heat on the horizon but the cold shots look pretty muted except for one notable intrusion of arctic air next Wednesday following the Tuesday rainstorm.

Jb thinks that the snow chances are not done yet for the coast

Nothing in the next 7 days. I think its over sadly. Pretty crappy ending to a good winter.

The pattern seems to be shifting towards a warmer regime. Guidance continues to warm in the long range. Even cold shots will only feature temps in the 50s.

Its springtime.

Inaccuweather just released their summer outlook - they mention "Despite normal temperature ranges in the midsummer months, areas from Washington, D.C., up through Boston are expected to heat up quickly in May before returning to more seasonal temperatures in June and July."  

 

Doesn't look that way to me - no indication of it " heating up quickly in May".

Those maps that they have for their seasonal outlooks are worthless...they often state the obvious such as "turning hot" in the se or "changeable " for the ne.

For those of you who say he only plays the cold card here`s a little morsel for you . 

 

JB..... Enjoy it ( THIS WINTER ) , as there will be a flip in the coming few years, and a series of non winters is likely to develop for Winter weather lovers in the east and south..

 

Many of you who have really only been interested since 2000 would think the last 15 years or so are the norm . They were not .

 

When the flip does come , and it will and we get to re live the winters of the 1980`s again and you will look back at the last 15 years

with astonishment and say wow those winters were truly great .

 

So Joey has a point , Enjoy it .
