Good evening, everyone. We are rolling into the weekend with a colder brand of air surging in here and that’s bringing a drying trend. That doesn’t last long as another big storm system gets ready to move in here for the close of 2018. That brings a lot of ugly weather back in here.

This system is looking potent with heavy rain, strong storms and high winds… Again. This is another monster…

Rainfall of 1″-3″ will be possible, leading to the potential for flooding. A few of the storms may even be on the strong or locally severe side.

With or without storms, high winds look to become an issue again. The European Model has winds nearing 60mph…

Happy New Year! Ugh.

Much colder air comes in behind that with our next storm system developing and working our way by Thursday and Friday. The models are still correcting this thing farther west.

GFS

New version of the GFS

This active pattern looks to continue as the pattern skews colder through the first 2 weeks of January. The European Ensembles see the snow chances…

The control run is very active…

As always, we shall see.

Enjoy your evening and take care.
