As I said yesterday we are in for a lot of rain in the eastern half of the country Monday-Wednesday, and severe weather in the south. Why? A cold front will drift southeast across the eastern portion of the country. As that is happening, several waves of low pressure will ride up the front, adding more energy and slowing down the front. The slow speed of the front and abundant tropical moisture will cause an extended threat of heavy rain ahead of the cold front. Near the cold front there will be more instability due to the clash of air masses and jet stream energy. This will cause a severe weather outbreak, especially in the south as there will be more instability there due to warmer air and higher dew points. As I said yesterday there won't be much of a wintry side of the storm, but behind the cold front on Thursday there could be some lake effect snow, but right now I don't see more than 1-4" of snow piling up in the Snow Belt Thursday/Thursday night. There could be another power house storm late next weekend and early next week but there are questions if we will see a lot of snow or a lot of rain, but right now I am leaning towards the latter as we are quickly coming up on April and winter's days appear to be numbered, but either way stay tuned as it could still have negative impacts on our weather because even if it is warm flooding could be an issue.
