Although we’re dealing with areas of drizzle, low clouds, and fog this morning, a relatively quiet period of weather is ahead as we put a wrap on the week and head through the weekend. At one time what I thought would be a more significant storm system and associated eastern wintry threat won’t come to fruition. While the eastern seaboard will deal with rain Friday into Saturday, we should remain free of any significant precipitation here on the home front.
Our next storm system will arrive as we open up next week and we’ll forecast increasing rain chances next Monday. From this distance, moisture return isn’t terribly impressive and rainfall amounts should remain generally in the 0.25″ to 0.75″ range.
Colder air will follow behind this storm system with more authority and those wishing and hoping for legitimate wintry conditions may finally have their wish as we get closer to mid month. Speaking of cold and wintry times, we’ll have more on our updated long range thoughts later this week.
