HEADLINE: Bizarre weather will continue into the next two weeks. Temperatures are forecast to be above normal for most of this period. It will feel more like late April or May - not March. Surprised? I guess we shouldn't be - what has been normal over the last few years? Not much!
.
There will be a chance of showers and thunderstorms on and off through the period. Mostly because of the warm and humid conditions - couple with a few weak disturbances moving through the region.
.
Where thunderstorms occur they could produce lightning, gusty winds, and even a few reports of hail. This is almost a summer type pattern.
.
Here are the temperature departures for the coming days - these maps tell you HOW MUCH above normal temperatures will be - enjoy this weather!
.
Folks, this is NOT normal to see 20-30 degrees above normal across a huge chunk of the nation. These are the high temperature departures through next Monday.
.
.
We have a TON of new weather maps on the Weather Observatory web-site - these include temperatures, wind speed, dew points, heat index, barometric pressure, predicted rainfall, climate forecast, medium and long range maps, forecasts and more! Click here

1. On and off shower and thunderstorm chances into early next week - I can't find an organized severe weather threat right now. PLENTY of above normal temperatures. Absolutely bizarre weather - especially the long duration of the warmth this past winter into the present.

Now is a GREAT time to buy a NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio. Better to have one before storms strike than to be without one during an event. I recommend the Midland Model 300 NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio - that is what I use here at my house!
