Thaw Will Be Brief; Arctic Hammer Set To Drop…

  • Brief thaw
  • Coldest air of the season awaits
  • Snow squalls accompany the arctic air

Enjoy Today; New Polar Plunge Coming…While we wait on the next severe blast of cold air, enough SW air flow will help boost temperatures to above normal levels today and Friday.  We’ll introduce a few showers into the Friday forecast, so today is the “pick of the week!”  Find a way to enjoy it!

What at one time looked like a significant storm system Friday into Saturday is now anything but.  A very weak area of low pressure will provide showers Friday before transitioning to snow flurries as precipitation ends.  Precipitation amounts will be light with this system.

Colder air begins to return tomorrow night and Saturday, but it’s Saturday night and Sunday that the next arctic invasion will get underway.  By now you know the deal- we’ll also contend with snow showers and embedded heavier squalls, along with very gusty winds.

A frigid opening to next week will take place before we eye our next snow maker the middle of next week.

Very Busy Winter Pattern…

First and foremost tonight, our thoughts and prayers are with the Smith family.  It’s comforting to know that Andrew is now in heaven and the pain and suffering is no…

Hope You Like Winter…

Screen Shot 2016-01-09 at 7.20.28 AMHighlights:

  • Rain changes to snow
  • Much colder and windy
  • Quick-hitting intense snow squalls
  • Arctic air

Rain To Snow Late Tonight…Most of today will be mild, but big changes will take place tonight as cold air whips around an area of low pressure that will deliver rain, especially the second half of the day.  With the colder air moving in, rain will change to snow overnight and stick in spots.  Timing the changeover is key in obviously determining snow amounts, but after looking over morning data, we feel as good as we can about our initial snowfall map issued last night.  Additional fine tuning may be required later today, and bust potential remains high.

1stCallSnowfallMap11016The second half of the weekend will feature morning snow along with strong and gusty north winds.  It’ll be a harshly colder day (don’t let that high around freezing fool you, as that will take place around midnight).

Monday will dawn very cold, but dry, but the quiet times will be brief.  Clouds will increase late day and snow will develop Monday night into Tuesday morning.  Embedded heavy, quick-hitting, snow squalls will accompany arctic reinforcements Tuesday morning and set up a messy morning commute.

A third snow maker is possible Thursday and then our attention turns to next weekend for additional wintry “fun and games.”  Get the idea now that we’re in a drastically different pattern when compared to December?
