Wednesday, December 25th, 2013 - Morning Weather Discussion

We will have a beautiful but cold day today, followed by a chance of some snow showers tomorrow morning that could leave a dusting of snow in some places.  Friday and Saturday will then be quite nice and warmer by Saturday with a high in the mid 40’s.  Sunday we will have a chance of rain as a storm may come up the coast but there is no cold air around.  Monday will then be nice but colder and New Year’s Eve will be very cold with a high only in the mid 20’s.  New Year’s Day we will have a chance of some snow showers in the morning, followed by clearing.  Then next Thursday it looks as if a disturbance may drop down from Canada at the same time that another disturbance is moving along the Gulf Coast.  These disturbances may combine as they head in our direction, causing snow to develop late in the morning next Thursday, and the snow may become heavy at times on Thursday afternoon.  The snow may then mix with or change to sleet and freezing rain, then to rain, depending on how this storm develops and where it tracks.  Both the American and European models combine the storms in a way that the storm intensifies rapidly as it approaches our area, producing the possibility of heavy precipitation and strong winds as we head into Friday.  The exact track that the storm takes will determine who gets rain and who gets snow, and how much of each.  There will then be a chance of another significant storm the following Tuesday and Wednesday and the track that this storm takes will once again determine who gets rain and who gets snow, and how much.  Check back for updates.
