Synopsis:
The major pattern change to colder has occurred and will stick around for some time. Readings will be near average today-the average high temperature is 46º, to below average through the weekend. The jet stream is active and will have units of energy dropping into the trough from time to time forming a storm. The question is, will these areas of low pressure form close enough to give the area a snowfall?
The latest computer guidance has a developing storm off the coast on Saturday. A shield of light snow may graze coastal areas. At this time there is a low potential for a light accumulation at the coast. On Sunday an upper level disturbance will move through with the chance of flurries.
The second unit of energy will come our way Tuesday. At this time, it looks like it will form too far North and East for a significant snowfall. There are still many days to watch this one and I’m not writing it off. One thing is for sure the cold is set in stone.
Stay tuned.
