That cooldown is still coming
Posted Mar30, 2007 at 06:01 PM
It won't be the April fool's trick I alluded to a week ago, but a sharp cooldown is still coming next week ... but more toward the middle and latter part of the week. That means we might squeeze in a few more warm days between now and when the pattern change occurs. Temperatures this morning were a bit chilly ... a low at the freezing mark in Blacksburg, in fact ... because of a cold front that slipped southward on Wednesday and Thursday, one of the triggers for our storms. But warm, humid air will begin returning Saturday, and that could set up the chance of some showers and thunderstorms Sunday as a weak front moves through. A much stronger front will be due to move through at midweek, which could trigger yet more storms, and will kick off a new pattern where warm air will build in the West and colder air will dip into the East.
