Friday, December 19, 2014 - Morning Weather Discussion

Well, sorry, no white Christmas for us…

It had looked as if we had a good chance for a white Christmas just a few short days ago.  Unfortunately, that is not going to happen.  The storm for this weekend got delayed until Monday night and by then the warm air will be in place and we will get rain instead of snow.  If the storm had come in this weekend we would have surely had snow, but for some reason it got delayed.  I feel really bad for the snow plow guys.  I know many of you read this blog and well, I was hoping for you guys.  On the other hand, I know some of you would prefer not to have to deal with it around the holidays, so I am happy for you.  For those of you hoping for the snow, the next one to watch is a possible storm for New Year’s Eve day.  We will have to see how that one works out…

Anyway, we will have fairly decent weather through Sunday but it will be cool with highs in the mid 30’s. 

Monday the storm that was supposed to bring us a big snowstorm this weekend will finally move in during the afternoon and evening and it might still be cold enough that it could possibly start as a little light snow or a mixture of rain and snow, but it would rather quickly change to rain with the rain continuing overnight.  The high on Monday should be around 40.

Tuesday we will have light rain and showers with highs in the mid 40’s.

Christmas Eve day a rather strong storm is likely to form along the East Coast as two strong upper level disturbances merge.  The storm will however take an inland path which will allow warm air to surge northward up the East Coast.  This will cause high temperatures to reach the mid 50’s on Christmas Eve day.  It will also be quite windy on Christmas Eve. 

For those of you heading south to Florida for the holiday, expect the possibility of heavy travel delays on Christmas Eve day with the heavy rains and strong winds and remember that my dad owns a real estate company in Florida. Click here to view his company website. 

The rain will come to an end early in the evening on Christmas Eve, followed by cooler temperatures for Christmas Day and a chance of a snow shower.  The highs on Christmas Day should be around 40, but it will feel cooler with the strong northerly winds.

Next Friday should be nice with a high around 40.

Next Saturday clouds will increase and we will have a chance of showers at night as a cold front approaches.  The high next Saturday should be in the mid 40’s.

Next Sunday and Monday should then be mostly sunny and cooler with highs in the mid 30’s.

Then next Tuesday a low pressure area may form along the Gulf Coast and merge with an upper level system dropping down from Canada.  If these two systems merge the storm would then move up the East Coast and bring us a chance for snow starting next Tuesday night and through New Year’s Eve day.   For those of you wanting some snow, this is the next one to watch…

New Year’s Eve day would then be mostly sunny with highs in the low to mid 30’s.
