Synopsis:
Today and Thursday will feature partly sunny skies and cold temperatures as high pressure over the Southeast dominates our weather. Today’s wind will add a bite, the mid 20s will feel more like the teens. The wind will abate by Thursday as readings approach freezing under thickening clouds.
Now to Friday’s potential. At this time it looks like a light event. Low pressure will develop offshore. How close does this happen and where does the surface trough setup will determine who gets what in terms of snowfall. Where that axis sets up with the trough will be where the maximum snowfall occurs. The guidance has areas to the North seeing the least with areas to the South of the City receiving the highest accumulations. That’s the latest setup and very well may change some in two days. Again, thinking a light event here- a possible 1″-3″ for the region. It may snow lightly all day Friday. Stay tuned.
Saturday will be frigid as an Arctic blast makes a visit. Readings will only be in the 20s.
Sunday won’t be as harsh with temperatures recovering to around freezing.
Keep it here for a no nonsense, no hype forecast.
