Migration Weather Forecast
Thursday Night
A strong cold front is currently making its way across the Ohio Valley towards the eastern seaboard. Expect this front to clear our area on Thursday night, and bring with it strong northwest winds. This will trigger heavy migration into the mid-Atlantic region for Friday morning.
Friday Night
As high pressure sets up shop over the northeastern US, north winds and clear skies will again dominate the region causing another night of unimpeded migration.
Saturday Night
Low pressure off the Carolina coast, interacting with high pressure across the central US, will cause a strong northerly wind gradient over the coastal states. Coupled with more clear skies, this combination of optimal wind and weather will trigger more migration into and out of the mid-Atlantic region.
Sunday Night
As the coastal low moves offshore, and high pressure heads east, expect winds to die down over the mid-Atlantic. With the light winds still possessing a northerly component, expect a moderate flight of birds into and out of the region.
Birding Forecast
Thursday Morning
Moderate migration on northwest winds on Wednesday night will be good for coastal hotspots on Thursday morning. There are plenty of birds present across the region at this time of year, so pick your favorite location and head there.
Friday Morning
With a strong flight on northwest winds anticipated for Thursday night, Cape May will be a good pick for Friday morning. Also, interior ridges will be fun for hawk watching as winds turn more northerly during the day.
Saturday Morning
Similar to Friday, given the strong northwest winds over western New York and New England, expect birds to be widespread across the region, with some heavier concentrations along the coast.
Sunday & Monday Morning
Sunday and Monday morning are looking a bit more favorable for inland locations, as clear skies and northeast winds will pave the way for more birds arriving to the region.
