Happy Meteorological Spring!

Mid to Late Week Warm Up

Be Weary of Ice Jams!

Trending Warmer Next Weekend!

Happy Meteorological Spring! We know it's been a long, cold Winter, but we are one step closer to Spring! And later this week, it's certainly going to feel like Spring has already sprung!

Temperatures well above freezing for several days? Yes please! While the first day of Meteorological Spring may feel like just another day of Winter, it will certainly feel as though the tides have shifted later this week! Definitely something to look forward to and distract from the Sunday Scaries!

While those warmer temperatures are going to be a nice change from the reality of the last several months, they, in tandem with chances for rain, pose the threat for ice break up and snowmelt. This will subsequently pose a threat for potential ice jams and associated flooding. We are continuing to monitor this potential in order to provide actionable messaging in the near future. But for now, it's just something to keep in mind. And another reason for us to plug one of our favorite sayings: "Turn Around, Don't Drown!"

The latest Climate Prediction Center outlook favors above normal temperatures for eastern NY and western New England for next weekend into the second week of March. Normal highs this time of year are in the upper 30s to mid 40s, with normal lows in the low to mid 20s.
