Not Out Like a Lamb

The end of March used to be a quiet time as winter made the transition into spring and the weather calmed down.  Not anymore.

A cold front is pushing through tomorrow and severe weather is predicted for the East Coast.  The Storm Prediction Center - which, thankfully, has not yet been emaciated by Elon Musk - was looking at the possibility of severe weather in the East as early as this past Friday, which is pretty early and thus rather ominous.  Yesterday was pretty warm, with temperatures in northern New Jersey pushing 80 degrees Fahrenheit - not the sort of temperatures you should expect in New Jersey in March.  Even late March.

The map above shows a NAM projection for 8:00 P.M. tomorrow. While it seems that the worst of the storms will hit the Washington, D.C. area, there's also a clear line of likely potent storms bearing down on the Greater New York area from northwestern New Jersey.  This March will not go out quietly . . . though the power outages this storm front may cause might silence millions.
