Freeze Warning Issued for Monday Night for Central and Southern NJ, DE, MD and the Northern Ohio Valley for Monday Night...
Spring is off to a terrific start with near 80 degree temperatures last week. The blossoms are out now and spring flowers like daffodils are blooming. However, temperatures are now forecast to fall into the mid to upper 20s Monday night and Tuesday morning and the NWS has issued a Freeze Watch for interior sections of northern and central New Jersey. Looking out for the next 16 days, the GFS indicates that this will be a relatively cool week with temperatures in the 50s and 60s for daytime highs and chilly lows in the 20s and 30s in the NYC metro area. An omega block is forecast to develop around April 3, 2012 with milder weather conditions as a ridge builds across the east coast. A relatively strong Spring storm is forecast to form in the Ohio Valley and intensify in response to a strong latitudinal jet ejecting energy southward around April 6, 2012. No more snow is expected this season. Only 7.2 inches of snow fell this season in Central Park with 2.9 inches coming before Halloween.

Blocking Pattern to Produce a Mild Start to Spring in the Eastern US
The latest GFS indicates an early Spring for much of the eastern half of the nation. A ridge with high pressure is forecast to remain over the west Atlantic just off the coast of the Northeast for much of the next two weeks. This is expected to produce a mild southwest flow with only a few periods of rain and no major storms. Cool winds along the coast may at times produce chilly weather especially from the Mid-Atlantic States to New England.

Several Strong Tornadoes Kill 37 People in the Southeast and Ohio Valley States
An intense early season cold front combined with a strong jetstream produced tornadoes yesterday through this morning that killed 14 people in Indiana, one in Alabama, 17 in Kentucky and 3 in Ohio. Tornado watches and warnings were posted this morning in Georgia, Florida and Alabama.
The Wall Street Journal reported:
In Kentucky, the official death toll from Friday's storms stood at 17 as of late Saturday morning, authorities said. Four were reported dead in each of Morgan County and Laurel County, three in Kenton County, and two each in Menifee, Johnson and Lawrence counties, according to state authorities. All of the counties are in eastern Kentucky.
In Morgan County, about 80 miles east of Lexington, several trailer parks were overturned and other buildings were severely damaged, according to Specialist James Moore of the Army National Guard. Nearly 22,000 people were without power in the state. Of Kentucky's 120 counties, 13 reported tornado damage and an additional 27 reported storm damage. More than 200 Kentucky National Guardsmen are helping emergency workers in five counties. Three people died in Ohio, all in Clermont County in the state's southwest, said Tamara McBride, a spokeswoman for Ohio's Emergency Management Agency. She said the county had suffered "significant damage," but it wasn't yet clear early Saturday exactly how severe. No one was unaccounted for, and the death toll in the state wasn't expected to rise, she said.
