Brutally Cold Week…

Screen Shot 2015-02-23 at 7.30.55 AMBundle Up…A series of arctic highs will build south and result in an absolutely frigid week across a large portion of the country, including here on the home front.  Several cold records will fall this week.

For the most part, we’re looking at a dry week, but a skinny band of light snow may blow through the area Tuesday afternoon/ evening- not a big deal.

Models are struggling on the details with our next storm system.  It’s possible we’ll have to add a wintry mix of rain and snow into your Sunday forecast, but prefer to wait another set of runs before doing so.  Timing and track remain big questions at this point- common from a Day 6+ event.  The GFS and European lean towards a milder, wetter event while the Canadian is colder and more suppressed.  Much more on this later.

Winter Storm Tonight-Saturday

Good morning and happy Friday, friends!  Boy, Old Man Winter is really beginning to turn some minds around from thinking this was an easy winter to one that’s quite impressive, especially from a cold standpoint.  By the way, there’s MUCH more from where this came from!  Essentially we remain on “lock down” for more brutally cold and wintry conditions for the upcoming 7-10 day period.  More on that later.

Here’s a look at our initial snowfall forecast map for tonight and Saturday:
