Good evening, folks. Our weekend is off and running on a great note, but things are about to change in a big way. Rain moves in for Saturday, with Old Man Winter throwing a jab at us early next week, with bigger punch possible later in the week.
Our weekend rains increase from west to east out there late tonight into Saturday, arriving in the southeast late in the day. The rain totals continue to increase on the models…
A second cold front arrives Sunday night and early Monday, with cold northwesterly winds blowing up snow showers that would carry us into early Tuesday…
Light accumulations are very possible in many areas, especially across the mountains in the east. That’s a setup that can overachieve in some spots.
The late weekend system continues to have “the look” of a significant Ohio and Tennessee Valleys winter weather event.
An arctic front dives in and slows down, with low pressure developing along it. Depending on the track and strength of the low, a big event would be possible around here.
The GFS continues to pound out a big storm…
The European Model is also going that direction…
As always, we focus on the setup and not the individual runs. The setup continues to advertise a significant winter weather event around our part of the world. Let’s see if the pattern still looks this way in the coming days.
Enjoy the evening and take care.
Always enjoy your updates, Chris! We miss you on WSAZ. Thanks for all you do!
Thanks Chris. Let’s take them one at a time… get the weekend storm wrapped up before we start worrying much about the next one! And I still say If the next one materalizes, you’re gonna need a bigger server… just sayin’ 😉
Weekend storm is a typical rainmaker .25-.50, no big deal. All eyes focused on the potential for late next week.
Well, if this is what it is going to take to go ahead and get winter over with, then I say let it snow… But then I seriously want an EARLY Spring!!
