Thursday, February 22, 2018 - Evening Weather Discussion

Very unsettled and chance for a strong, slow-moving, Nor’easter…

It will be very unsettled over the next two weeks and there will be a chance of a strong, slow-moving, Nor’easter somewhere nearby next Friday. There remains about a 60% chance of a significant snowstorm and a 30% chance of a very significant snowstorm sometime between next Thursday and the following Wednesday…

The freezing rain and sleet did not materialize this afternoon and evening in most places as warm air remained in place near the ground.

Tomorrow there will be more rain and there could be a few pockets of freezing rain, mainly in portions of the higher elevations of Northeastern PA. Highs will be in the mid 30’s to mid 40’s.

Saturday will be variably cloudy with rain developing again at night and continuing into Sunday afternoon as yet another disturbance passes through our area. Highs will be in the mid 40’s to mid 50’s Saturday and the 40’s Sunday.

Monday will be variably cloudy with highs in the upper 40’s to mid 50’s.

Tuesday will then be nice with highs in the upper 40’s to mid 50’s.

Wednesday will be variably cloudy with a chance of a shower. Highs will be in the upper 40’s to mid 50’s.

Next Thursday clouds will increase with a chance of showers developing as a strong disturbance approaches from the west. Highs will be in the mid 40’s to low 50’s.

Next Friday into Saturday morning there will be a chance of rain or snow as the approaching disturbance may turn into a strong Nor’easter as it reaches the Middle Atlantic Coast.  Whether this is a big rain or big snow storm will depend upon exactly where and how it develops, but the potential is there for a major Nor’easter and it could be very slow moving as well, so there will be the potential for very heavy precipitation with this storm. We will have to keep a close eye on this storm potential, but it is too early to tell for sure whether it will develop, and where exactly it will develop, if it does. Depending on where and how this storm develops, highs will be in the mid 30’s to mid 40’s.

Next Sunday then looks variably cloudy with a chance of a rain or snow shower. Highs will be in the upper 30’s to mid 40’s.

Next Monday through Wednesday there will again be a chance for rain or snow as another approaching disturbance may turn into a strong Nor’easter near the Middle Atlantic Coast. Highs will be in the 40’s next Monday, and the upper 30’s to mid 40’s next Tuesday and Wednesday.

Well, the potential is there for a big one sometime between next Friday and the following Wednesday, so join me in the morning and let’s see what happens…

Have a wonderful evening!
