Instead of another disappointing coastal storm that have been so common this winter, today brings us a storm that's much more spring-like in nature. The storm, which brought a killer tornado to Oklahoma overnight is bringing a variety of spring weather to the East coast today and tomorrow. For starters, it's warm air from the Gulf coast. Look for a high this afternoon in the upper 50s to lower 60s. Heck, JFK already set a record high of 61 this morning.
As a cold front catches up to the warm air there will be a chance of showers, and possibly a thunderstorm. The rain should be here by late evening and last through tomorrow morning. Tomorrow's high will be in the lower 50s but that is going to occur at midnight. The rest of the day will be cooler and windy windy windy.
The midwestern storm is expected to deepen and move through Upstate and northern New England tomorrow. As it does, the winds will pick up to a steady 30-35 miles and hour with gusts to 50 mph during the day, prompting the need for a high wind watch for most of Thursday. Seasonable weather, complete with a chance of snow on Saturday, returns in time for the weekend.
