Friday and beyond

some rain and an associated cold front will be moving through today. Temepratures will actually be in the low 40's during the day, and then will drop overnight. With temperatures in the low 40's, we will get some snow melt. Be cognizant of black ice tonight as the temperatures tumble to the low 20's.

We have a winter weather event moving in for Friday. It looks like snow developes overnight Thursday and tappers off Friday morning. This will be a quick moving storm, but will drop a plowable amount of snow. I am thinking right now 3-4" through most parts of the area. Expect another messy commute Friday. It will be messy, but nothing like the ice we had yesterday morning.

We have been in a pattern with little upstream blocking meaning we wont have a storm like we did on this past Boxing Day. If we can establish a block, then we could be in business for a nice, slow moving storm. As of now, we will be getting these quick hitters that freshen up the snow cover.

Next storm is showing up for next Tuesday. This one looks like there is a potential to tap some Gulf of Mexico moisture, so it could be a good hit. More to come on this after Friday!
