Looking Into Late Next Week

The American model has a pretty potent storm developing next week on Wednesday and this is the same storm I talked about being a possibility a few days ago. So, the models still have it, it is just a timing and placement issue at this point as to how far east the cold front gets and when the storm develops next week. The American model develops it on Wednesday and brings it through Georgia, then bombs it into the Eastern Great Lakes bringing us heavy flooding rains on Wednesday and Thursday next week. The extended version of the European model also develops the storm in the Gulf of Mexico, but not until Friday (two days later than the American model), so there is more cold air in place in our area, and just like the American model runs it through Georgia, but then off the coast near Cape Hatteras, where it then turns north off the coast on Saturday,with lots of cold air in place in our area. So, there continues to be decent agreement on the cold air working it's way into our area early next week and a storm developing, but there are still significant differences on timing. The American model produces a massive flooding rainstorm on Wednesday into Thursday of next week, while the extended version of the European model produces a significant Nor'easter snowstorm in our area the Saturday after next. We shall see.
