Well, this storm really ramped up at the last minute,
causing accumulations from 2-10 inches throughout our area. This storm was a result of the large and very
intense Nor’easter off the East Coast that missed us on Wednesday night, being
pulled back toward us last night, as a strong piece of upper level energy dived
down toward the storm. This put us on
the outer edge of the storm with bands of snow wrapping around the storm and
into our area. These bands will come to
an end finally around noon. After this
storm passes, the next system to move into our area will be on Monday night
when some showers will develop ahead of a cold front, ending early in the morning
on Tuesday. Then on Wednesday and
Thursday we will have a chance of snow showers behind the strong cold front, as
the cold air will move across the warm waters of the Great Lakes, producing
some snow showers that could make it into our area. Then a weak storm will approach our area for
Friday night bringing a chance of some snow.
Then another weak storm will approach for Sunday night, bringing a
chance of rain or snow for next Sunday night.
After that storm passes we will have to watch for the possibility of a
rather intense and slow moving storm to develop over the Southeastern United
States that could move northeast and affect our area from Tuesday evening March
19th through Friday, March 22nd.
How are you Saying this is ending at noon based on the Radar from the NWS?
ReplyDeleteJim, I said AROUND noon. That does not mean it will literally end at exactly 12:00. It would be nice if it always worked out like that but that is not usually going to happen. In response to your question, the precipitation is breaking down from the west as we speak, which is clearly indicated by the models. The snow will end over the next couple of hours. It might be 1:00, or possibly even 2:00.
