Yes, it seems this way. Winter is finally over. But it seems as if the warm temperatures do not want to be found across the NE. We get a slight taste of Spring this week. A storm moving into Ontario should allow the winds to shift to the south and bring in much warmer air. Right now, a storm is exiting the coast and a cool NE flow can be found, keeping temperatures in check. By Tuesday, we should get back to near normal and above normal later in the week before the next storm system moves in for next weekend. (More on that later) It seems like right now the GFS sets up a trough over the east for next week and keeps temperatures cooler than normal. That pattern may persist in the east for the next few weeks. The ECMWF has reversed itself with the summer-like temps in the east and has gone with the GFS. That should verify by next week. So enjoy the nice weather folks this week while it lasts. Next week shouldn't be too nice.
This is from Brett Anderson, a meterologist at Accuweather. This is from his weekly long range forecast.
The week of April 14-20
The model is forecasting a major trough (pocket of cold air aloft) over the Yukon and northern British Columbia and a weak trough over the northeastern U.S. The model is also hinting at a weak ridge aloft (mild/dry air) over Greenland.If I do not mention a specific region then that usually means I do not see anything significant compared to normal for that particular week.
-Wet and chilly across New England
The week of April 21-27
The model is showing a weak upper-level trough in the means over Alaska, while a ridge sits off of Newfoundland.
-More cool/wet weather for the northeastern U.S./most of Ontario/southern Quebec and Nova Scotia.
The week of April 28- May 4
-Unseasonably cool from the prairies to Ontario, Great Lakes and New England.--Drier and milder than normal from Labrador to Newfoundland.--Wet pattern for the Northeast U.S., Ontario and southern Quebec. (Must watch the flood potential!) --Place to be..........Sunny California (a nice warm/dry pattern). I hear you loud and clear Brett
