Migration Weather Forecast
Wednesday Night
Northwest winds will keep migration to a minimum on Wednesday night, but have no fear, more migration is on the way!
Thursday Night
As a strong cold front approached from the west, high pressure over the mid-Atlantic will set up southerly flow across the region and trigger moderate levels of migration for Thursday night.
Friday Night
The migration pattern should hold, as the cold front slowly pushes eastward. Expect moderate levels of migration on Friday night as well.
Saturday Night
If the forecast holds, we should expect another night of migration on Saturday... could this be the big push we've been waiting for??? It IS May already!
Birding Forecast
Thursday Morning
Little to no migration is expected for Wednesday night, so birding conditions will be similar to previous days.
Friday Morning
South winds and clear skies on Thursday night will lead to a night of well-dispersed migrants. Tried-and-true spring migration hotspots will be the best bet for Friday morning.
Saturday Morning
As of right now, a front is expected to extend across the mid-Atlantic on Friday night/ Saturday morning, which could cause some unstable weather and maybe concentrate migrants along the frontal boundary. I'll leave out the possibility for a "fallout" right now, but we'll have to keep an eye on it. Either way, birding conditions should be good on Saturday morning.
Sunday Morning
Similar to Saturday, the front should extend farther down into the mid-Atlantic, possibly creating a barrier to birds heading north, and causing localized concentrations of birds. I'll have to update this forecast as we approach the weekend an the weather becomes more predictable. In the meantime, keep the weekend open for birding!
