One more warm day for central NC then a return to more early spring like weather/cooler weather.

Well a big pattern change is coming by Thursday and onward. With tomorrow the transition day as a cold front slides by the area bringing a chance for some thunderstorms possible. Now on to the patter set up for late March into early April at least. Lets start with todays setup below, as you can see a typical La Nina SE US ridge in place and a western US trough.

As we move into this weekend cooler/wetter weather looks to setup with the models showing a chilly/cold rain for central/western NC, noted by the GFS/ECMWF below.(for Tuesday morning)

Both models agree on a cold air damming setup east of the Mnts in NC, possible severe weather for the deep south and south eastern NC and SC.
The NAO is looking to go on the negative side for a while as seen below and the PNA positive.

So what does this mean, well after tomorrow (Wed) you can say goodbye to the beautiful 80 degree weather as cooler and possibly wetter weather to end March and start April, although I am keeping an eye on mid April for a return to warmer weather but Ill have more on April as the end of March draws closer.
