I'm Gone Through Sunday! My last few thoughts!

-This Evening's Severe is a little surprising:

A squall line formed a little farther north and a little late, considering the time of year. I though the severe threat would be low in the evening due to the loss of daytime heating/jet stream support, but as the wind fields accelerated a little when the sun went down the line of thunderstorms that was going on at the time strengthened. So NJ/SE NY/CT will see a nice line of storms this evening with isolated damaging winds.

-Severe event Thursday in the Plains:

A low pressure will eject from the Rocky mountains early Thursday, bringing in more warm, moist air and some more wind shear for the southern Plains. This could spark off more severe weather Thursday. Friday there could be some severe weather off to the east.

-Overall weather pattern:

It looks we are more than likely done with any plowable snow. We will be seeing a much warmer weather pattern over the next two weeks. Near or above normal will be the norm and any cold snaps will be short and fleeting.

-Important weather links:
-SPC
-NWS
-National/Regional Radars
-Weather.com interactive radar (really good) Suggestion: Change base from map to satellite
-NCEP model page
-Nexlab stormlab (good site, slightly advanced)
-PSU e-wall (great site!)

Stay safe and I will be back Monday (if not late Sunday)
