I’m sorry that I have been off the grid for last 3 weeks or so. It has been a very busy period as I was finishing up the school semester, moving and I went tornado chasing for 10 days.
While on the trip we witnessed numerous supercells, wall clouds and 1 tornado. We missed the tornado that devastated the areas of Newcastle & Moore Oklahoma by 30 miles or so on a different tornadic thunderstorm. This is the tornado that we witnessed on May 19th just north of South Haven, Kansas.
How about our upcoming weather? It’s been cool here in New England while I was gone. The mountains of Northern New England, and some lower elevation even received snow!! But that is not going to continue as the end of the forecast looks very warm!
Right now we have nary a cloud in the sky, but it is still cool. See that bank of clouds off to our southwest, that is a warm front. On the other side of that front is, well you guessed it warm air. Slowly but surely over the next couple of days, that front is going to move our direction. Eventually it will pass through during the evening on Wednesday. Which is the reason for rain in the forecast during the day on Wednesday.
Once that front passes through, our winds will shift to come from the south and southwest. Well, considering that I was just out over the southern plains, I can tell you that it is hot! So all that warm air that is located to our southwest is destined to make its way our direction with time. Which is why we will likely see our first 90 reading of the year in almost all locations.
This weekend is looking great and warm. Likely will be a good time to have a barbecue and open up those pools.
