Synopsis:
January will show its true colors today. The computer models have pushed a strengthening area of low pressure closer to our coast. What this means is that snow is now in the forecast for areas South and East of the City for Monday. The City and vicinity may get into the action for a few hours with a dusting or so possible. Areas North and West as of this writing look to be snow-free. Please stay tuned to JMW for the very latest on this fluid situation.
The jackpot zone will be Southern Ocean county where 6-10″ of snow is possible. The potential amounts are above. The snow will begin during the mid-morning hours and become steady and possibly heavy for a time well to the South.
High pressure over the region on Tuesday will deliver abundant sunshine and seasonal readings.
Temperatures will pop on Wednesday to several degrees above the average high of 40º.
Thursday will be seasonal as another front moves through with a mix of sun and clouds.
On Friday, a storm will develop over the Southern Appalachians and move Northeast. How is this all plays out is yet to be seen, but another round of snow or mixed precipitation is possible.
Stay tuned..
