It is a mild morning up and down the eastern seaboard as a strong cold front moves eastward. Temperatures soared into the low 80's as far north as Washington yesterday with 70's into the northeast. This morning Montreal was at 10C (50F) about an hour ago, but has since fallen back to 6C with the passage of the cold front. Temperatures reached 12C in Ottawa and 18C in Toronto. Yesterday we had about 10mm of rainfall with a little wet snow at the onset. Today will be breezy across the region with showers and falling temperatures. The good news is the balance of the week looks sunny with a slow warning trend that could see temperatures in the 15C range by the end of the weekend.
THUNDERSTORMS
That cold front this morning is pressing into some unseasonably mild and moist air along the east coast. At present a line of sever thunderstorms is moving into the coastal area from the mid Atlantic to the southeast. Severe Thunderstorm Warnings are in effect locally along with a large area under a tornado watch including Washington DC and the heavily travelled I-95 corridor. The storms will affect the region early this morning until about 11am when the front should clear the coast. Drier and cooler weather will move in behind the system.
**The last of the seasons snow is melting from my front yard this morning. If it goes today, the ground would have been covered from December 7 until early April, nearly 4 months since I have seen my lawn!
