The wind and cold will end by Friday! A “Bermuda High” (High Pressure over Bermuda) will bring in tropical air over the weekend and really warm the area. Temperatures on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will be in middle 80s. By next week, the cooler air will return as the Bermuda High is pushed out by a cold front Sunday Night.

Here is a map to explain::

Note: Allergies will be bad this weekend, so make sure to take benadryl or claritin.

Tonight: Windy and clear. Getting near freezing, watch for frost. Low 38

Tomorrow: A little warmer with partly cloudy skies Hi 68

Tomorrow Night: Cool and clear. Bermuda High moves in Low 50

Friday: Warm and sunny Hi 81 Low 60

Saturday: Even warmer and sunny Hi 84 Low 63

Finally! The relief of a Philaburbia Weather Blog post is here. This post will be nothing special than any other post that I have done. The fact is that the weather became very dull over the past few weeks…who wants to read that the next seven days will be sunny?

The reason I am posting is because a rainstorm that is looking to really give us a soaking Tonight, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. There is a low pressure system in the midwest right now giving them severe weather and heavy rain. This storm will progressively move northeast over the next few days, placing our area in the danger zone. Here is the GFS model prediction for Sunday morning:

I also wouldn’t be surprised if a flood watch is issued soon just for precaution. My recommendation for the weekend is to get outside Saturday, because it will not be nice for a little while!

After a picture perfect spring weekend, the weather will just keep getting warmer as high pressure will build off the of Carolina coastline. This will bring in the warm air and raise our temperatures into the mid to upper 80s by Wednesday. A cold front will eventually crash the heat wave and bring more seasonable temperatures to the area by late week.

Forecast:

Tonight: Getting cool as the night progresses, clear Low 46

Tomorrow: Partly cloudy Hi 77

Tomorrow Night: Becoming clear overnight Low 55

Tuesday: Very, very warm. Turn your air conditioning on! Hi 83 Low 60

Wednesday: Hot and sunny. Watch for sunburn if your outdoors for more than an hour. Hi 87 Low 66

Another major event going on right now is the annual Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington DC. Here is a picture from the festival from this year. I always think of the blooming of the cherry blossom as a sign of spring:
