Brief Cool Down Here, Nor'easter Blasts New England

Computer models have been very consistent in predicting a massive blizzard for the Northeast.  That circulation has brought a drastic change to our weather from yesterday's record high of 86 to today being mostly in the lower 60s.  Brisk northerly winds are making it feel like the 50s, and sweaters and jackets are required.  I moved my potted plants back into my He-Shed even though temps will stay above freezing south of Lake P.  NWS has not changed their forecast lows for Monday & Tuesday.

Those of you on the North Shore & Mississippi Coast will see freezing temps. And some locations away from the Lake, south Tuesday AM will briefly touch freezing.  This is the result of that big Nor'easter.

The surface low is forming near the Jersey Shore with the upper energy diving down from the Great Lakes.  As they phase, look for explosion development crippling travel for the next 24-48 hours.  Here we're enjoying sunshine for several days.

Temperatures are barely below freezing, making for a heavy, wet snow in the Northeast.  If you're dressed for it, locally this is dry, good-feeling air.  With less winds Monday PM & Tuesday, it'll feel great here.

As you can see, after the freeze/frost threat Tuesday morning, you can move your plants back outside for the rest of this week.  Another weak front will pass through late Thursday into Friday with very little cooling behind it.  Stay tuned!
