Spring Patterns

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 18:35:45 GMT

What a weekend! What a day! We have more sunny days ahead this week thanks to a stagnant pattern. Last week, I spent several days explaining the reason for the day after day after day doldrum weather and it was basically a typical spring pattern. Last week we were under the influence of a slow moving Low Pressure system and this week it will be a slow moving High Pressure system! During spring, it’s common to find these High & Low pressure system moving slow. During the winter, these weather systems are still present but move faster due to a faster jet stream. In springtime, the winter jet stream begins to weaken (slow down) and retreat into Canada. The result is those weather systems move slow. Hence, a lot of sunshine this week!Even tho we’ll have mostly sunny skies tomorrow, it will be cooler, especially along the coast. The reason is that cool front quietly moving through southern New England tonight (no rain). That front will drag down some cooler air from Canad...
