An Arctic front moved through last night and has put a chill over the area. This will continue today and tomorrow before all eyes shift towards the storm Wednesday.
Model consensus is building, and the general idea now is that a significant storm will move up the coast very late Tuesday into Wednesday. With most storms that move into our area, this one will also have some aspects that will need to be monitored going into Tuesday Night. As the low pressure moves along the Gulf Coast, it will interact with a disturbance moving across Canada. The exact timing of the interaction (phase) will determine where the low pressure begins to come up the coast. The earlier, the further west (warmer, more precip); and the later, further east (colder, less precip). As of now, my general thoughts are that the entire PHL- NYC corridor sees rain, with a possible changeover at the very end (no accumulation). The real question as far as snow goes, is for areas in the mountains north and west of us. There could be a significant dumping of snow in the much higher elevations.
I will be watching and updating on each model run via twitter and facebook and I will probably update my blog during the late evening and morning times. For now, sit back and drink a winter beer and enjoy the cold air!
