The Week Ahead for January 17, 2016

First thing, the storm potential I had mentioned earlier this week for today and tomorrow has moved close enough back into the area to maybe drop some snow showers this afternoon / evening. The noon NAM model shows a period of light snow mid afternoon through the evening. Looks like mainly S NJ up to about rt 195 will stand the best shot.

After that, we will have some cold air moving in for much of the week. Temperatures will struggle to make it to freezing for Monday and Tuesday. For Wednesday and Thursday high temperatures will make it to the mid 30's to 40 degrees.

The end of the week is really looking good for a potential storm. Both the GFS and EURO are showing a developing coastal storm, with the major differences being the timing. The GFS brings it in a bit earlier and a has a Friday into Saturday storm, while the Euro holds it back for the second half of the weekend. As of now, the main idea is that they are both showing a significant coastal storm!

Should be a fun week, with plenty of updates!
