Sunday, December 15th, 2013 - Morning Weather Discussion

The freezing rain and sleet will come to an end before sunrise then the next storm to watch will be on Tuesday as a weak storm system approaches the west.  This storm will bring some light snow starting on Tuesday morning between 6 am and 7 am and will end around 1 pm with total accumulations of 1-2 inches possible.  Then the snow will start up again around 9 pm and ends around midnight as another piece of energy moves through, bringing the chance for another half inch to inch of snow.  Temperatures will then gradually warm to around 60 by Sunday morning as warm air surges north ahead of a cold front.  We will have a chance of a shower on Friday into Saturday morning.  Then we will have to watch as a low pressure area develops over the southeastern United States.  This storm will move northeast along the front and the track that it takes will decide whether this storm is rain, snow, or some mixture of rain or snow.  Right now there is still much uncertainty with the situation next weekend.  The American and Canadian models are in agreement with the general idea that we will once again be on the dividing line between rain and snow with increasing chances for a changeover to snow as each wave of low pressure moves by us.  The European model that just came out however says that they will be rain and we will have a heat wave with temperatures reaching 60 degrees by next Sunday.  I am not yet ready to buy into that, so I have gone with the American and Canadian models for next weekend for now.  So, either we will need snow shovels or shorts next weekend.  Not quite sure yet.  I will let you know.  After that as we get into Christmas evening there will be a chance of Nor’easter developing and brining us a bit of snow on Christmas night and the day after Christmas, then the possibility of yet another storm bringing us more snow for next Friday and Saturday.
