Rain, then colder, then cold, then snow?
So here's just a quick update on the weather we can expect over the next week or so. I hope everyone is having a relaxing and safe holiday season!
Rainy Sunday, particularly in the late morning and early afternoon. Rain is heaviest during these times. Temperatures will hold steady in the upper 30s/lower 40s, so no threat of mixing or wintry precipitation, but still watch for wet roadways and some flooding. We could get an inch of rain.
Monday looks breezy and colder. High 37, low 18, but temperatures will feel like the 20s during the day due to the wind.
Tuesday and Wednesday look cold with more clouds than sun. High Tuesday is 30; high Wednesday is 26. Overnight lows in the middle teens both nights. The Mummers will freeze; there may be a flurry around, too. Not a cataclysmic snowstorm, but still, I'll take it.
Speaking of cataclysmic snowstorms: models are indicating a possible Nor'easter for Thursday (starting in the morning, lasting all day). It's very early now, and a lot could change. So it would be wanton speculation to give you snow totals yet. But hey, that's what I do: I wantonly speculate. Here are percentages for you, and these DO add up to 100:
25% chance of a complete miss
30% chance of an accumulation in the range of 3-6 inches
30% chance of an accumulation in the range of 6-10 inches
15% chance of an accumulation in the range of 10-15 inches
It will be cold (temperatures in the lower 20s during the storm), so this would potentially be all snow with higher snow ratios (the ratio of snowfall to liquid content). So, you know, stay tuned.
Friday looks cold with snow or flurries possible.
The weekend looks clear with highs in the 20s and lows in the teens.
The next potential winter storms I'm looking at are: 1/7, 1/13, 1/21, and 1/25. And 1/31.
And 2/5.
Then it quiets down.
Updates to follow!
