Obviously, the parades have started, and most/many of you only think about Parade Weather. After an extended cold stretch, the upper east coast trough /Polar Vortex has lifted out, and an upper ridge will build over us, bringing a long period of warm, dry weather. Will it last for every day through Mardi Gras? Maybe, but there are two days (Friday & Saturday) that we could have to deal with showers. Here's the local NWS outlook maps.
Will we ever have more cold weather? Absolutely, but not in the short term (8-14 days). Remember the nearby snow cover of last week. It's retreated back to the north.
That snow pack is keeping the cold over the Northeast, but the pattern flip has really warmed the central plains and southern states.
Look at the 70s & 80s back over Texas. That warmth is heading our way. If you plan to attend any parades on Sunday, DON'T FORGET THE SUNSCREEN!!!
If you haven't uncovered your plants or moved them back outside, do it as temps will be very Spring-like all week. Finally....
Last night, thanks to my good long-time friend Greg Buisson, I was honored to introduce the main act at Family Gras. I remember Herman's Hermits as a main band from the 60s. In fact, lead singer Peter Noone and I are the same age, being born in 1947. What I didn't know about Peter is how funny he is & how great a voice he has. This was one of the best concerts I ever attended, and the crowd loved them. If you ever get a chance to attend his concert, don't hesitate. He's well worth it. Enjoy this great Mardi Gras parade weather and, oh yeah, the Super Bowl is tomorrow. Seattle 27, New England 17. But who cares?!!! Stay tuned!
