Weekend event + next week Nor'easter?
A few systems to talk about...
First, this weekend... Light to moderate snow will arrive in the hours just after midnight tonight and continuing until late morning before changing over to rain for the bulk of the afternoon. Precipitation may briefly change back to snow in the early evening as the storm moves out. Total accumulations will be an inch or two at the most, and travel disruptions should be fairly minimal. Do use caution and common sense when driving or walking in any wintry precipitation, though.
Highs will be in the upper 30s to near 40 on Sunday and Monday before another potential winter weather-maker moves through. This one will be Monday night and Tuesday morning, but will just bring us snow and rain showers. And wind! Gales and gales of wind.
Then cold: highs in the mid to upper 20s for Wednesday with breezy conditions.
Thursday 2/10 is when some forecast model solutions are pointing to a mega-blizzard for the eastern seaboard. If all falls right, there will be plenty of cold air in place to create a historic whiteout snowdump clusterjam. But hey--we're almost a week away from that one, so let's hold off on the hand-wringing and knicker-knotting for now. My gut feeling at this point is that it's not going to be that impressive.
Beyond all that, we could be dealing with some icing problems on Monday 2/14 into Tuesday 2/15, but again--way too early to call at this point.
Stay tuned for updates!
