Whoosh! That's the sound of today's weather. The skies may be gloomy this morning but, whoosh, a cold front will bring us abundant sunshine this afternoon. Along with clearing skies will be a much cooler air mass. Look at those crazy temperature drops across the Midwest yesterday. While our temperature drop won't be as extreme as in Chicago, we expect the proverbial mercury to drop into the mid-30s by the time we go home this evening. With that much change there's bound to be wind. The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory through five o'clock. Winds will pick up to between 20 and 30 miles and hour during the day. Gusts of 45-50 mph are not out of the question.

The forecast for snow and rain yesterday was a total bust. We saw snow, but we had to go to the Upper Delaware Valley to see it. The next chance, and it is a slim chance, for snow is tomorrow afternoon. Today will remain sunny, but another arctic front should cross the region around noon Thursday. The front will be enough of a disturbance that a few light snow showers might occur. As arctic fronts go this one is pretty mild. We can expect highs in the mid-30s, just slightly below normal, both before and after the front passes. Friday should be another brilliantly clear day.

Sometimes the forecast doesn't quite work out as expected. More accurately, sometimes the forecast sucks. Of the big three major forecast outfits, AccuWeather started the "big storm" drumbeat Friday night, the Weather Service joined in yesterday, while the Weather Channel, to its credit, never really got on the bandwagon. Gothamist had to laugh early this morning when an AccuWeather forecaster on 880 WCBS blamed the storm for "fizzling out" rather than accept responsiblity for a bad forecast. Way to be a mensch! The storm itself didn't fizzle out, either, dude. Eastern Massachussetts and points northward are getting whomped with up to ten inches of snow today.
