Friday, March 8th, 2013 - Evening Weather Discussion

The weather will be quite nice and warm now through Monday until the next cold front passes through our area.  Then it looks as if the next storm to keep an eye on will be for next Friday morning as a storm system will approach our area from the west. There should be plenty of cold air in place at that time to produce snow in our area, but everything depends on the track of the storm.  Right now it looks as if the track of the storm would keep it to our south.  This would lock the cold air in place so that any precipitation would be snow, but the storm does not seem as if it will be a big snow producer right now, just producing some light snow, however we will need to keep an eye on this.  If this storm tracks further to the north it would be rain, and if it tracks too far to the south it would miss us completely.  I can also see how this storm could possibly turn into something more significant if it slowed down and developed a bit more when it hits the coast.  After this storm passes we will then have to watch for the next possible big Nor’easter for the following week.  This could be a much more significant storm, and very slow moving, just as this one was, for the time period between Tuesday evening the 19^th and Friday the 22^nd.
