Good evening, weather weenies. The weather is calm (thank goodness) to start the week and this calm weather carries us for a few more days. After that, we are going to crank it up once again with another big time storm system moving in here later this week. This will bring a lot of rain and wind out way, with just a small chance for some wraparound flakes.

That system really doesn’t arrive until late Thursday into Friday then sticks around into Saturday. It’s in response to a massive upper level low that slowly spins across the region. Wind will be a big player with gusts of 40mph at times. Rainfall numbers may reach 1-2″ in some areas, with thunder a possibility. Can we get some wraparound flakes out of this? Maybe, but it depends on how strong the surface low gets.

The GFS…

The Icon…

Milder air comes back in behind that and takes us into early next week. Beyond that, we start to see the pattern flipping back to cold setup we’ve had since late October. It also keeps the action going as we head into Christmas week…

Enjoy the evening and take care.
