Good evening, gang. I wanted to drop by for a quick update on the current flood threat and to look ahead to where the pattern is going for the week ahead and beyond.

Let’s talk flooding. Many areas have already picked up 1″-2″ and another 1″-2″ will be possible through the wee hours of Monday morning. Obviously, this increases our flood potential and that’s especially true as thunderstorms get into the mix.

Our Watch continues…

Expect to see some warnings go up at some point…

The potential for a few strong or severe storms is also there, especially across southern parts of the state…

The damaging wind threat stays as the top dog. Winds outside of storms will increase tonight and continue into Monday as colder air wraps in. We should also get in on a dry slot of air, but watch for a few showers to develop later in the day.

Several models continue to show some light snow and snow showers wrapping around into the region Monday night through New Year’s Eve. The GFS Ensembles and Canadian models have had this for several days and now the NAM is showing the possibility…

After a break in the action for New Year’s Day, another heavy rain maker looks to target the region for Thursday and Friday. There’s also a developing trend to end some of that as a touch of snow by Saturday…

A cold blast of air follows that by Sunday and could bring some snow showers and flurries…

The setup for the following week is the first one to really get my interest. Cold air isn’t going to be a problem and we look to have a lot of energy sliding on the southern edge of it. The Euro is in a ‘to phase or not to phase’ mood. The last run was close to a phase, but is missing the connection…

The prior run ad a fully phased storm…

Winter weather lovers finally have some action to track!

Here are your Sunday evening tracking toys…
