A Look Ahead

Over the last two days Mother Nature has reminded us that it is still winter. After a record warm December, January has been the opposite. A cool start to January, with the past two days being well below normal. In my last post, I was eyeing this pattern change around the change to the new year. While that has happened, we have still not measured our first snowfall yet. When will that be coming? Lets discuss.

While the past two days have been cold, we will once again transition to a near normal to above normal couple of days. We will have a shot at some rain this Friday with highs in the 40's and then again on Sunday with highs near 50. After Sunday, I really think we go full bore, lock and load, colder pattern which will also usher in our first chances at some quality snow chances. It does appear that once we get to Monday, we will be locking in for the week at or below normal temperatures. I also think by the end of next week, we will have a couple chances in the near future at some snow chances.

I expect first some shots of Clippers to move through, reinforcing cold air and then some solid chances of some storms entering the Southwest and moving along the southern states. Any one of those storms will have the potential to produce a significant storm through the Northeast. So, lets keep our fingers crossed and get ready for a hopefully wild second half to winter.
