First Week of Spring: Warmer and Rainy

It looks like the first full week of spring will feature temperatures rising above, if not well above, average!  A change in the jetstream will cause a trough to dig in the southwest while a ridge of high pressure builds over roughly 2/3's of the U.S.  While we've got a few upper 50s and even a 60° in the next seven days, the middle 60s could be here as soon as next Sunday.

Unfortunately this will come with the chance of above averege precipitation.  During this time frame the favored stormtrack will likely move from the southwest to the Midwest/Great Lakes.  While the precipitation chances don't look too significant this week, next week could be a different story.
