Arctic Air Waiting On Deck…

Screen Shot 2015-02-11 at 8.00.54 AMArctic Air And Snow Chances…Today will be the best day of the upcoming seven days, but caution as an arctic front slams into the region late tonight and early Thursday with bitter cold, strong and gusty winds, and scattered snow showers.  Tomorrow will feel nasty with sub-zero wind chills continuing through the day.

Friday will feature dry and cold conditions and we’ll eye Friday night/ early Saturday for the second, and more intense, arctic surge.  Temperatures will fall through the day, winds will be strong, and snow showers will be around the region.  We also note some localized lake effect is possible with both arctic surges and targets northeast and east-central portions of the state for potential lake effect enhancement.  Saturday wind chill values will be 20 to 25 degrees below zero.

Sunday will be dry and cold, but by this time all eyes will be on a winter storm developing to our southwest.  Forecast models vary between a moderate to a significant winter storm and this will require a close eye and fine tuning in the days ahead.

Winter’s Back!

Screen Shot 2015-02-09 at 8.09.10 AMLots Of Winter Ahead…After a brief weekend thaw, winter’s set to roar back with authority this week.  Morning freezing drizzle and freezing fog should diminish and give way to a mostly cloudy day.  It’ll be much colder than what we enjoyed over the weekend as temperatures hold nearly steady through the day.

Sunshine returns briefly Tuesday, but another fast-moving weather disturbance will bring a light rain shower Wednesday.  As a shot of arctic air drills in here Wednesday night and Thursday, snow showers will blow into town with gusty winds.

A second and even more intense surge of bitter arctic air will pour south Saturday into Sunday.  Dangerously cold air will be accompanied with this surge, including below zero wind chills and more snow showers.

We’re eyeing early next week for the opportunity of a more widespread winter event.  Stay tuned…

Decent Day Today; Snowy Wednesday Afternoon Ahead

Screen Shot 2015-02-03 at 8.02.05 AMNot A Bad Day Today; Snow Event Wednesday…After a cold start today, temperatures will moderate into the lower to middle 30s this afternoon.  We’ll be in a weak southerly air flow this afternoon as a disturbance tracks to our north.

The big focus of this forecast package has to do with Wednesday. We forecast a quiet start to the day, but clouds will quickly lower and thicken and widespread snow, briefly heavy, will overspread all of the region tomorrow afternoon.  This will be a dry, powdery snow as all of the snow will fall behind an arctic boundary that will slip through the region.  As of now we forecast 2″-3″ of snow tomorrow afternoon into tomorrow evening.  Strong and gusty north winds will lead to blowing and drifting issues Wednesday evening.  All in all, expect the Wednesday evening rush to be impacted.  Frigid air will settle over the region by Thursday morning with dry conditions returning.

Temperatures will slowly moderate briefly out ahead of our next weekend weather maker.  Keep an eye on Sunday-Monday as that will be our next opportunity for accumulating wintry precipitation.
