Milder Weekend Ahead

We finished off February on the chilly side, now March will begin near average and then above average early next week. A weak cold front will slide off the coast Saturday AM. Clouds will decrease with more sunshine by the afternoon with highs in the upper 40's to near 50. Winds will continue to be strong out of the West at 15-20 mph. The West wind will down slope off the Appalachians resulting in the air compressing and warming. A high pressure system moves into the mid-Atlantic on Sunday. Pleasant conditions continue but it will still be a bit below average with highs in the upper 40's. Overall it looks to be a nice weekend with sunshine but a bit breezy. The average high this time of year for Salisbury is 51 degrees. Early next week will see a strong storm system develop over Texas, resulting in some warmer air in our forecast.
