What's ahead going into March...

The next few days will be on the cool side, with afternon temperatures mainly in the 40s. Our next cold front will slide through by Saturday morning, but won't have much of an impact on the area. There may be a few passing showers, but the weekend should be mainly dry. Temperatures will be in the seasonable low to mid 50s.

Briefly warmer early next week...

It looks like we'll get a good shot of warmer air in here early next week, with temperatures Monday and Tuesday well into the 60s (maybe touching 70). The next system to watch will affect us Tuesday and Wednesday (March 4-5) with rain. It doesn't appear the next shot of cold will be all that strong...until the next system passes by (March 7). A upper trough over the Central U.S. will finally lift out to the northeast at that time.

And beyond...

As the trough lifts out, some of the cold building over Canada will sink southeast into our region, so look for the weekend of March 8-9 to be chilly. After that, the longer range data favors a trough digging out west, leading to a warm-up here in the East the week of March 10th.

Hi Mike! I moved from Richmond in August and I noticed tonight that you are not at WTVR anymore. What are you doing now? Even though I'm in Illinois I still love reading your forecasts. No one here can hold a candle to your weather reports. Take care.

So nice to hear from you Vanessa. It's a pleasure to hear from many of my past viewers. Unfortunately my contract was not renewed at WTVR. You can keep up with my forecasts and other activities here on the blog and my main web site (www.mike-goldberg.com). I really appreciate everyone's support!

Best wishes to you in Illinois!
