I Think its safe to say.....Winter is over

I really do think winter is now over for the Mid Atlantic. Sure, there is always a chance of a fluke April storm but the calender says its spring and so will the temperatures starting tomorrow. This should be the last below normal average day for a while as tomorrow afternoon should see us hit near 70.

This weekend will feature mostly cloudy days with temps mostly in the 60's but it should be above average at night. I really don't see any more temps below 32 on the horizon. As far as storms,I really don't see any major storms our future despite the mostly cloudy conditions that will prevail over the weekend. There could be some showers friday afternoon and off and on for most of the weekends but certainly not a washout and nothing like last week's nor easter.

Here is a map of the surface sea temp anomalies and you can see the La Nina starting to take hold...below normal waters off the west coast of South America are indicative of a La Nina would could favor a pretty interesting tropical season.
