Weekend Storm Potential

At this point, it’s just that. A potential.

Global computer modelling ranges from a deep snowstorm up into the middle of Pennsylvania, to a light accumulation south of Route 22. What is different from this past weekend’s storm is that we don’t have a pressing, arctic airmass in place. That helped to force the storm south of us.

We will be plenty cold for snow, but the big question is “how much”. Right now, I’d favor a more northerly solution for this weekend, bringing in at least some accumulating snow. Perhaps as far north as the storm during the weekend before Christmas. That’s not to say we’re going to see the exact same results and accumulations, but I’d lean toward accumulating snow getting as far north as Route 322.

So we’ll see how things play out over the next few days. The potential is there for some snow, but the potential is also there for no snow! One thing is certain for the days after the storm, and that is another arctic outbreak. Temperatures look to get very cold by Sunday and Monday behind the coastal storm.

I’ll update my thoughts on this all week long, so check back in!
