Wednesday Morning's Weather Discussion

Tonight a weak storm system will approach our area, bringing some light snow or flurries, starting between 4pm and 7pm and ending around midnight.  Total accumulations of a dusting to an inch are possible.  Then the big question is what will happen this weekend?  Right now it is looking less likely that there will be a big storm this weekend, however there is quite a divergence in the models. The British, Canadian, and U.S. Navy models produce a big snowstorm throughout the Northeast this weekend, and then on the other end of the spectrum are the European, American, and Japanese models that only bring us some light snow and flurries.  It all depends upon how several pieces of energy interact along the East Coast this weekend.  The pattern itself is quite ominous, but the pieces to this puzzle remain over the Pacific Ocean where data sampling is sparse, so we may not know what is going to happen for another day or so.  The American model did just make a significant trend toward developing a more important storm in our area this weekend on the run that just came out, so we definitely need to keep a close eye on this potential.  Then moving into next week, we will likely see some rain on Tuesday, and then the snow potential that I have been talking about for a week already is still there for next Friday.  Check back for updates.
