Friday, December 27th, 2013 - Morning Weather Discussion

We will see some beautiful days today and tomorrow, then a low pressure area will form in the Gulf of Mexico and head northeast into our area for Sunday, bringing with it rain, as there will be no cold air in place by that time.  We will then have a chance of a snow shower on Monday morning and then again on Tuesday.  On Wednesday for New Year’s Day, a little bit stronger disturbance may bring us some snow showers that would have the potential to create some accumulation, so we will need to keep an eye on that possibility.  Then a more important storm may form for Thursday and Friday as two disturbances may combine, one dropping down from Canada, and one moving along the Gulf Coast.  If these systems combine they would have the potential to develop into a very significant Nor’easter as they approach the Middle Atlantic Coast.  As is typical however, there are many questions as to whether these systems will combine at all, and if they do, where the resulting storm would track.  If they were to combine, the track that the storm takes would determine how much and what type of precipitation we would receive.  The models have been indicating the possibility of a very significant storm in this time frame for many days now, as I mentioned in a post a couple of days ago.  However, it is still too early to tell whether these pieces will come together.  Check back for updates.
