Boring weather (meteorologically speaking) will continue through most of the upcoming work week as high pressure anchored over the Ohio Valley will yield bright sunny mild March days with little variation in temperatures and conditions until Thursday.

We have another beauty on deck for Monday. Mostly sunny skies will dominate once again sending temperatures well into the mid to upper 40s. The high on Sunday hit 46° officially at the airport and there is no reason why we shouldn’t meet or exceed that on Monday.

A similar story for Tuesday although a upper level low well to our north and east will try and send colder air aloft towards us. This will translate to cooler readings, but still highs will top out in the low to mid 40s. Plenty of sunshine still.

Wednesday could be the first day we hit 50°. Cooler temps aloft on Tuesday head back north. With mostly sunny skies, there is no reason things shouldn’t warm into the upper 40s to near 50°. The only fly in the ointment each day this week is whether or not the west, southwest wind will be strong enough to transport Lake Erie modified air far enough west to Rochester. It’s that time of the year again when lake breezes cannot be over looked.

Models are trying to show a few weak disturbances riding around the ridge that’s currently in place for Thursday. Moisture parameters are fairly light right now, so I am not going to forecast anything significant just yet. Either way, temperatures will still remain in the upper 40s to near 50°. If we can sneak sunshine in on Thursday, we’ll see 50s for sure. In fact, 850s might be warm enough to support readings near 60° if we can clear skies out. Same holds true for Friday.

Enjoy it!
