Quick Update

A quick update about tonight and this weekend. Tonight, rain has moved in and will continue until tomorrow morning. The winds will also kick up and be quite gusty at times. There is even a chance of some thunder or lightening as the low pressure moves closer. Rain moves out tomorrow am.

On to Saturday. Most models, the GFS and European show a low pressure development off the NC coast which moves away from the coast leaving us with some sprinkles/flurries. What's interesting is one of the medium range models, the NAM (which only goes out 84 hours) has shown a developing low pressure developing in the GOM and moving along the east coast. This brings more precipitation to the area, leaving the only question to temperatures. As depicted, they would be marginal for snow. Now, take this model with a grain of salt, the "wheel house" of this model is under 48 hours, and since the event is greater than that, it tends to do some wacky things. Nonetheless, I will continue to follow it and see how it does in the upcoming model runs.

I have also stated in the past to keep a reminder that nothing will be set in stone and some waffling will take place. I would wait until this current system moves out to allow the models to get a better grasp on the event this weekend. Updates as needed! I am off to a Devils game!
