Following the changes in weather that saw the mid-’60s over the weekend, falling to a height almost above the Monday freeze, the arrival of the storm before the strong Sunday afternoon storm continues the trend of fluctuations for the rest of the week.
The Storm System moved the area just before 3pm on Sunday, dropping trees and power lines throughout the area.
“There were fallen trees falling in different parts of the county. There were no major damage, but a lot of trees and power lines came out,” said the Catalaugas County emergency dispatcher.
As of Monday morning, most blackouts had been resolved, and grids across the country issued a statement indicating that more than 2,000 safety and power recovery officials were reportedly working on Sunday night because the location had reached 72 mph.
Alleghany County was also hit hard, with a report issued by FindEnergy.com saying that 2,453 households in the county had no power as of 4pm. On Monday morning, there were fewer than 30 customers.
Potter County area in Single House, Pennsylvania, and McKeane County areas have also been reported widespread power outages, according to Penneck spokesman Todd Myers. He said 341 people (159 from Liberty Township) were still out of power as of Monday morning.
Myers said the suspension “relatively relates to trees blowing over our rights that are allowed to be trimmed into our poles and wires and are allowed to undermine equipment.”
The low-pressure system that blew the colder temperatures on Monday will travel just as quickly as Tuesday’s temperatures are expected to return to the ’60s as the ridge moves eastward.
The warm-up continues on Wednesday. On Wednesday, highs could reach an unseasonably warm 70. As the day progresses, the wind also increases.
Another cold front enters west and west on Thursday, with temperatures returning to the upper body from the mid-40s, with occasional rain showers that could blow the wind away. It’s still cold on Fridays, with only the mid-30s and 30s having a chance to shower wet snow. A low early morning on Fridays could immerse yourself in your 20s.
“It basically looks like you can see spring. We’re above the normal temperatures we get when we arrive in the ’60s and ’70s, but we usually see something like this in the spring,” said Aaron Reynolds, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s Buffalo office.
Looking forward to this weekend, high pressure areas have an impact on returning to seasonal weather, with both days getting higher in your mid-50s. Sunday was able to see the winter mix to morning rain as the days went by.
