Good afternoon everyone and thanks for stopping by the blog. I have a busy afternoon ahead, but wanted to drop by to update things on what looks like a busy week ahead.

The early week system is looking a tad more interesting as some of the models are going toward the secondary Carolina low idea we talked about yesterday. The JMA model was among the first to show this idea that could bring us a better chance of snow late Tuesday into early Wednesday.

We get some overrunning precipitation that can start out as a mix on Monday before a switch to light rain Monday night and early Tuesday. This happens as a clipper works into the lakes and drags a cold front through the region. As this happens… a secondary low will try to form across the Carolinas and ride up along the coast. This would throw some more moisture in here and that would be in the form of snow late Tuesday and early Wednesday. Depending on the track of the low… this could be some light snow and flurries or something a little stronger putting snow on the ground.

Here is the latest mean from the GFS Ensembles…


The late week storm potential is still very much alive and well for Thursday and Friday. The GFS is still crushing the southern stream energy as it brings a big time arctic outbreak in here. The Canadian Model has now joined the camp of something big being possible…



The hot off the presses European Model is also a pretty big hit for much of the region. This is getting interesting!

I will have another update later this evening so check back. Have a great day and take care.
