Winter Weather Advisory

Issued for tomorrow. Same thoughts as I had yesterday. Snow begins
Friday morning and ends around evening. Still feel 1-2" around most
parts. Looks like the heavy band of snow will bs setting up shop to
our north.

Next weeks storm is still on the models! That's what I will be looking
at after tomorrow!

Friday looking snowy

Looks like Friday we are going to actually have a period of
accumulating snows Friday. Model guidance is a little more bullish now
on our area receiving measurable snow and in some cases plowable.
Looks like snow breaks out late Friday morning and continues until
evening. Looks like South Jersey to Philly looking like 1-2" while
areas north of Philly to NYC are looking 2-4". Now, another thing
showing up is that there will be a band of heavier snow developing
over the area and can increase amounts in those areas where the band
sets up. This will be a wait and see thing, so don't be surprised for
someone in the area to receive 5 or 6" in that band. The band could
set up anywhere from Philly to NYC and north east.

Storm next week still is present on the weather models, but let's
worry about Friday first!

Storm threats upcoming

Well, the storm idea for the end of the week is looking more and more
unlikely. That's the bad news ( for snow lovers). The good news is, we
are heading into a very cold period and a rather active period for
storms.

Although this storm ( clipper ) looks to miss our area, it will be an
important player for the next week. The clipper will hit the coast and
redevelop north of our area and really cream Eastern New England. From
here, the low pressure will become a blocking mechanism which will be
important for another storm progged to hit our area next week. The
block will slow the following storm down for next week and allow for a
potentially major storm to hit. Where and how strong the 2nd storm
hits is the question.

The big story will be the cold air that will become entrenched over
the area. We are talking vodka cold. Similarities are being drawn to a
very cold outbreak in 1994. Anyone from this area can remember a week
of teens for highs and below zero for lows. It is looking like we
could rival that.

More to come!

Friday looking like some light snow likely, little accumulation. I am
more excited for the potential next week and will gladly sacrifice the
Friday storm if it can be a factor in making the second storm more
powerful!

There will also be more chances down the line as the cold air will be
here to stay and the rather active pattern continues.

Tomorrow will have highs in the 40's but that will be short lived.
