Migration Weather Forecast
Thurssdy Night
Still under the influence of high pressure and westerly winds, birds will take to the sky in large numbers for one more night before the weekend.
Friday Night
Low pressure to the northeast and west will draw winds from the south on Friday night, therefore shutting down migration.
Saturday Night
As high pressure replaces low pressure across the region, winds will gradually turn slack on Saturday night, opening the possibility of some migration over the mid-Atlantic.
Sunday Night
By Sunday night high pressure should strengthen enough to generate northwest winds and trigger heavy migration in and out of the region.
Birding Forecast
Friday Morning
West winds will tend to drive birds to the coast on Friday morning. With no weather in store, migrants will be dispersed across the landscape and best sought at tried and true migrant traps such as Cape May (NJ).
Saturday Morning
With no major changes expected on Saturday morning, location that proved productive on Friday would be a good bet for Saturday.
Sunday Morning
While a few birds are expected to move on Saturday night, the movement is not expected to be large and therefore changes on the ground may not be immediately evident. As with Friday, tried and true migrant traps along the coast will a good bet..
Monday Morning
Northwest winds return to the region, and heavy migration is expected to bring new arrivals to migrant hotspots across the state. Hawk watching should also be good on Monday as raptors would have had a couple of days off due to suboptimal conditions.
