This is what it has come to…pity cool maritime air.  Please someone come over and put a pick ax in my head. I’ll cover all expenses

I am seeing 85-90 potential next week. This weekend closer to 75 F with more cloud and a bit of an east wind component, but the mid-week second warmup looks more direct with a southwesterly flow. What's the earliest 90F at various local stations? 

Extreme warmth in early spring is often correlated with below normal temperatures in late spring and early summer. For example in 1945 it was warmer from mid-March to mid-April than it was from mid-May to mid-June in a lot of places in the northeastern states and Ontario.

I mentioned this in the disc-obs thread(really where it belongs). Mount Holly revised high temps today through Friday downward for here yesterday.

Doesn't look like the clouds are going to cooperate for tomorrow night's full lunar eclipse.

I noticed that yesterday, I really hope there’s a conveniently timed gap.

Moderate wind threat later Sunday and Sunday night.

 

Mount Holly AFD

 

LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Strong low pressure lifts into Canada, and this drags a strong
cold front through the Great Lakes Saturday night, and will be
over the Ohio Valley down through the Gulf Coast states on
Sunday. A tight southerly pressure gradient will develop between
high pressure over the Atlantic Ocean and low pressure north of
the Great Lakes over the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. Strong
winds aloft will be associated with this approaching system,
with a potential 50 to 60 kt low level jet that moves across the
region Sunday afternoon and evening, and then a 100+ kt jet
streak following behind Sunday night. During the day, south
winds will increase to 20 to 30 mph with 35 to 45 mph gusts. A
Wind Advisory may be needed.
