Saturday, February 24, 2018 - Morning Weather Discussion

Winter may end with a Grand Finale or two…

Rain will develop this afternoon, continuing through tomorrow morning as a strong disturbance and warm front push through our area. Highs will be in the 40’s to mid 50’s.

Monday and Tuesday will then be nice with highs in the upper 40’s to mid 50’s.

Wednesday will be variably cloudy with a slight chance of a shower in the afternoon or evening. Highs will be in the upper 40’s and 50’s.

Thursday clouds will increase as one disturbance approaches from the west through the Great lakes, and another, stronger disturbance, approaches from Texas and along the Gulf Coast States. This will cause rain to develop in the afternoon or at night. Highs will be in the upper 40’s to mid 50’s.

Early Friday, the northern disturbance will have moved to the Eastern Great Lakes, while the southern disturbance will have moved to near the Delmarva Peninsula. The two disturbances will then start to phase near or just east of the Delmarva Peninsula or NJ Coast, becoming a Nor’easter. This storm will then strengthen rapidly as it slowly moves eastward and out to sea Friday evening. This will cause heavy precipitation and strong winds in our area from late Thursday night through much of the day Friday. The precipitation will likely start as rain Thursday afternoon or evening but may change to snow in at least parts of our area late Thursday night or Friday morning and continue through the day Friday. There is a chance for significant, and possibly very significant, snowfall amounts with this storm, depending on exactly how and where this storm develops. We will need to keep a very close eye on this situation. Highs Friday will be in the mid 30’s to low 40’s, depending upon how this storm develops.

Next Saturday through Monday will then be nice, but with increasing cloudiness next Monday. Highs will be in the upper 30’s to mid 40’s next Saturday, and the 40’s next Sunday and Monday.

Next Tuesday and Wednesday there will be a chance of rain or snow as another disturbance approaches from the west, possibly turning into a Nor’easter. Highs will be in the mid 30’s to low 40’s, depending on how this storm develops. There will again be a chance for significant, or very significant precipitation, and possibly snow, with this storm.

Next Thursday and Friday will then be nice with highs in the upper 30’s to mid 40’s.

Have a fantastic day and please join me later for the latest information on the possibility for a Grand Finale or two to this winter!
