The next few days.
No toddlers were harmed in the making of this .gif.I have some forecasting for you people.
First, on Saturday, we have a clipper to contend with - and it's looking a little juicier than I previously thought. It'll be one of those nuisance storms that gives some people a mere coating and some up to 2.3 inches, depending on where heavier banding sets up. Look for scattered light snow showers late morning and early afternoon; then in the late afternoon and early evening, some areas will see heavier squalls. So if you're out and about tomorrow, keep an eye on the radar. And, you know, the actual sky.
Light snow showers and flurries taper by late Saturday night.
This kid was a little sore for a few days and his elbow still hurts when it rains.Following that action, we're going to see temperatures plunge and the winds really, really, really kick up. Really. By early Sunday morning, winds will be 30-35mph (sustained) with gusts of 50mph! That's a lot of wind. Watch for power outages and downed limbs/wires from the wind. And wind chills will be in the negative teens pretty much all day Sunday.
Everyone's fine. Well, that last person in the furry hood, maybe a smidge of lingering headaches and blurry vision.Overnight into Monday's commute, we'll see winds a little bit weaker, but temperatures will dip to -2. Wind chills will be about -20. You think you know cold? Right now (9pm Friday) it's 20 degrees with light wind. So it'll feel about 35 degrees colder than it feels right now. Put that in your pipe, and the horse you rode in on. Something like that.
And it only gets up to 15 degrees on Monday.
Chance of delay Monday, 80%
Chance of cancellation Monday, 38%
Tuesday (actually late Tuesday into Wednesday) still brings a chance of snow, but the latest model guidance suggests that the snow is heading out to sea.
After that, it gets a little bit less prickishly frigid.
Stay tuned for updates!
