This past week featured a warmth surge that melted the blizzard snow and made a lot of us happier. Don’t get used to it though. This week we start off extremely warm — in the 60s! However, by early next week we will be watching another potential snowstorm and get locked into the cold winter pattern again. The pattern is just rebooting for a final 6 weeks of the season, so get ready for another bout with “Old Man Winter.”

Snow chances this week: It will rain on Wednesday and then we will cool things down for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We’ll be watching a storm try to come up the coast and bring us either snow or rain (or both) for Monday and Tuesday. Then there is another storm after that and another one after that! Yeah, you get the point; it’s about to get stormy around here. More shoveling will be in order soon! I will keep you updated on all these snow chances on Twitter and Facebook.

Wednesday is the ‘scorcher of the week. It will feel like spring. Unfortunately, it will be cloudy and rain will arrive in the evening.

Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday all feature chilly weather. It will not be brutally cold, but temperatures will be in the 40s each day with lows near freezing each night.

On Monday we watch a storm come up from the south and bring us some precipitation. Now, this storm has yet to develop and it could bring mostly rain. However, I think we will get some snow out of it and it could be significant. Not a blizzard, but plowable snow.

The storm would wrap up on Tuesday and we would watch another storm develop to hit us later in the week. There’s still a lot of details that need to be worked out with these storms but keep the umbrella and snow boots handy.   

The weather winner of the week is Saturday; the weather loser is Monday.
