Spring Break Is Coming!

In honor of the fact that Spring Break is just a week and a half away here at State, and the fact that my sister's Spring Break is next week, I figured I would give her fair warning about the weather for next week! Please note, this is a forecast for 5-10 days in advance, this is all subject to change as this is not the easiest thing to forecast. As one of my professor says, "Anything past 3 days is magic."

Ocean City, Maryland:
Ocean City is right on the ocean(duh!), here is a Google Earth image to show you all where exactly it is. It's right along the border of Maryland and Delaware on the Peninsula.

The weekend to start spring break(this coming weekend) is not looking so great for anyone on the East Coast. GFS is the free model that goes out past 3 days into the future, and currently it is showing a large low pressure in Ontario on Saturday morning, with a long cold front extending through much of the Mid-Atlantic, and even into the Deep South. Most of what Ocean City can expect is rain, since temperatures will be above freezing through Saturday night into Sunday morning. I doubt temps will recover much on Sunday as the cold front moves through Saturday night into Sunday. Highs should hang out in low-mid 40s for Sunday. Sunday night might reach down to freezing with the clouds having cleared out during the day on Sunday. A slow warm up will occur from Monday into Tuesday. Monday should be in the upper 40s, Tuesday will be in the low-mid 50s with southeasterly winds. Unfortunately, this is in advance of another system that by Tuesday afternoon/evening will be approaching. Wednesday morning is currently when I anticipate this making an impact on Maryland. Thankfully it should push quickly out of the area and by Thursday things will clear out again and warm up once more. The GFS expects a very quick warm up into the high 50s and pushing sixty. This warm up is again very short-lived with another system taking direct aim at VA/MD/DE for Thursday evening. Unfortunately, outdoor activities may be rather limited due to the weather for my sister and her friends. Thankfully all of this will not be snow or any other wintry precipitation.

Saturday: Rainy.
Sunday: Clearing, cool. 44 F.
Monday: Sunny 48 F.
Tuesday: Sunny, warmer 54 F.
Wednesday: Cloudy with rain moving in later: 52 F.
Thursday: Rainy and warm 58 F.
Friday: Cooler, 49 F.

Next Week I will plan on discussing Fort Collins, Colorado, since I will be headed there for my spring break! Hope you enjoy this!
