Wednesday, January 8th, 2014 - Morning Weather Discussion

The polar vortex will start making the trip back to where it belongs today, with the temperatures gradually warming to high today around 20, then 30 tomorrow, then 40 on Friday, then into the 50’s to possibly the upper 50’s by midnight on Saturday night.  As the warm air starts to move in on Friday it will cause some light snow that could accumulate to a dusting to a half inch or so on Friday morning.  Then a storm will approach on Saturday and it will take a track to our west, allowing warm air to surge north into our area and causing the high temperatures to reach the 50’s by late on Saturday, and possibly to the upper 50’s by midnight on Saturday night.  Then on Sunday as the storm departs it will drag some cold air in here that could change the rain to some snow showers before ending on Sunday afternoon.  Monday should then be a nice day.  Then the models are in major disagreement as to what will happen beyond that.  There may be another storm that approaches us with more rain on Tuesday, if not then Tuesday would turn out to be another nice day.  Then another storm is likely to approach on Wednesday night or Thursday.  This storm could have more cold air to work with and it would have the potential to bring us at least some snow showers on Thursday.  At the moment next Friday and Saturday look nice, then there is the possibility of yet another storm approaching with the chance of rain or snow toward the end of next week.
