First like a lion, later like a lamb
Update #697: After strong winds on Monday, conditions will turn more tranquil in the Hudson Valley.
They say March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.
I think this proverb will be proven accurate this month, which has featured temperatures as high as 80 and as low as 12 in the Hudson Valley.
Next up: Ripping winds on Monday followed by another big temperature swing and a transition to more settled conditions.
The Hudson Valley will miss the severe weather outbreak that’s expected to bring tornadoes and damaging winds to the Mid-Atlantic on Monday, but several rumbles of thunder are possible locally. The day will be capped off by a period of heavy evening rain and wind before temperatures nosedive overnight.
After that, things finally turn a little more normal around here.
The week ahead
After a tumultuous start to the week, the weather will turn tamer.
Monday: warm and even a bit humid with showers, storms, and strong winds
Tuesday: windy and much cooler
Wednesday: cool, tranquil
Thursday: a little milder than Wednesday; a passing rain or snow shower can’t be ruled out
Friday: turning milder yet; a passing shower can’t be ruled out
Saturday-Sunday: a front could cross the region on Saturday, bringing a chance for rain before conditions turn cooler on Sunday
The week of March 23 looks rather chilly to start in the Hudson Valley. An unprecedented March heat wave in the West — bringing 110-degree heat — probably won’t reach the East in any meaningful capacity.
Cold spells will likely continue through the end of the month, though it does look drier than normal. Lingering snow day chances this season appear to be dwindling.
Hope your week is like a lamb ✌️
