Extended Range: WARM AND DRY!

Yes, it did snow a bit across northern Ohio today, and several times during the Indians game you could see the flurries flying. But, it didn't up to much if anything, maybe a dusting in Medina county and southern Cuyahoga because that is where the most steady precip fell today according to radar. But, the future looks much, much brighter weather wise. High pressure and a split flow jet stream will dominate the eastern 2/3 of the country for the next 10-14 days. This will result in above normal temps for a large area and preclude a lot of rain and severe weather for the next 10-14 days. So, it looks like April will continue to be above normal for much of the continent. Here is the whole 12z GFS ensemble 500MB height anomaly animation: As you can see that ridge will dominate the east for most of the run. Here is the 12z GFS 850MB temp anomaly animation: As you can see until around the 25th of April that ridge will generate above normal temperatures. You can see all of the GFS ensemble maps by following the link in my forecast center. This looks like a quiet few days weather wise. I will try to post once a day although I am sure I will run out of stuff to talk about...until Thursday or Friday when we will have a bit of a disturbance working across the country (maybe a little severe weather but this doesn't look like a huge outbreak)
