Monday, January 19, 2015 - Morning Weather Discussion

The freezing rain was quite a surprise yesterday morning as the temperatures remained below freezing longer than expected.  Yes, it did break 40 degrees in most locations yesterday afternoon, but the morning freezing rain was treacherous.  Unfortunately, I was not feeling well yesterday morning and slept in, only to wake up to the rain having started and the temperatures below freezing nearly everywhere.  There is nothing worse than freezing rain and I just wish that I could have caught that earlier, but apparently the National Weather Service didn't either, issuing a freezing rain advisory only a few minutes before I issued my own advisory. 

Moving forward, there could be a few icy spots on the roads again this morning as temperatures are near freezing.  The rest of the day will be variably cloudy with a chance of a flurry and highs will be in the low to mid 30’s.

Tomorrow should be mostly sunny with highs in the low to mid 30’s.

As for Wednesday, I have been talking about this potential Alberta Clipper for quite some time and the models have once again brought this storm a bit further to the north this morning, so we will need to keep a close eye on this possibility.  The light snow should start between 2 pm and 4 pm on Wednesday and end between 7am and 9 am on Thursday morning.  Depending on the track of this storm we could have anywhere from a dusting to 3 inches, with 1-3 inches looking likely at the moment.  The highs on Wednesday should be in the low to mid 30’s.

Thursday afternoon will then clear out with highs in the low to mid 30’s.

Friday should be mostly sunny with highs in the low 30’s.

Saturday will be variably cloudy with a chance of snow showers as a weak storm system approaches from the west.  The highs on Saturday should be in the mid 30’s.

Sunday should then be nice and warmer with highs around 40.

Next week we will have a chance of a snow every other day as various storm systems may approach us from the west.  Highs will range from the mid 20’s to the mid 30’s next week.
