Monday, February 9, 2015 - Evening Weather Discussion

The storm turned out to be dud for us as far as snow goes, of course New England and Boston got creamed again, but what else is new? Anyway, there are many more chances for snow on the horizon, and this time they should be chances for snow...

The storm today turned into a freezing rain and sleet storm instead of a snow storm just as many others did this winter. The freezing drizzle/sleet/light snow will continue until late tonight before finally coming to an end.

The roads may still be slippery in the morning, so please be careful if driving tonight or tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow things should finally clear out and then it will continue to be nice on Wednesday.

Then two Alberta Clippers will approach, one on Thursday and another for Saturday night. Both of these storms currently look like 1-3 inch snow threats, BUT I will caution that these are the types of storms that can really throw surprises under the right conditions, and the conditions could easily become right. Very small changes can cause either one of these storms to become quite significant. While that does not appear highly likely at the moment, it is definitely a possibility that needs to be watched VERY closely, especially if you live on Eastern Long Island or in Southeastern New England.

To give you an idea of the POTENTIAL with these two storms, the American model picks the Thursday one to blow up into a major storm for Eastern Long Island and Southeastern New England, while the European model picks the Saturday storm and even manages to bring us some of the effects from this storm.

I will watch both of these storms very closely, but right now, they both appear to be 1-3 inch type threats in our immediate area.

It will also get very cold Friday through Monday with lows in the single digits and possibly even below zero some night and highs in the low to mid teens on Friday, a bit warmer on Saturday but then possibly a high of only 10 on Sunday, then lows possibly below zero on Monday morning with highs in the teens.

Then our next chance of snow will be next Tuesday as a storm system approaches from the Southwest.

It should then clear out for Wednesday and Thursday before the next storm approaches for next Friday and Saturday.

LOTS of cold weather and lots of storms to talk about.

Let's see what happens.

Have a wonderful evening and please join me early in the morning for the latest.
