Quiet Weather This Week Followed By Possible Stormy Weather This Weekend

Tonight & Tuesday: An area of low pressure is expected to slide southeastward off of the Mid-Atlantic coast later tonight into Tuesday. It is very likely that this low pressure system will pass too far south of our area to give us any snow at all. Skies tonight will be cloudy with low temperatures near 25 Degrees. Winds will be Northwest at 10 to 20 mph. Tuesday looks like there will be a mixture of some sunshine and lots of clouds throughout the day. High temperatures will be near 35 Degrees. Winds will be Northwest at 10 to 20 mph. Wednesday Through Friday: A quiet stretch of weather is expected for the middle and later parts of this week as the area will be within a northwesterly wind flow. Wednesday looks partly sunny with high temperatures between 40 and 45 Degrees. Winds will be North at 15 to 25 mph. Thursday looks to feature a mixture of some sun and lots of clouds with high temperatures between 40 and 45 Degrees. Friday is expected to be partly sunny with high temperatures near 45 Degrees. Stormy Weather Pattern Sets In For This Weekend Into Early Next Week: The weather pattern for this weekend into the first part of next week looks extremely complicated and this is going to lead to a huge amount of forecast uncertainty, for now. This means that you should take any talk of a big snowstorm this weekend or early next week with a ton of salt because no one knows how the pattern is going to evolve and thus what sort of a storm we may or may not have. Bottom line is ignore the hype!! What we do know is that it appears that an area of low pressure is forecast to form near the Virginia coast around Friday night. The weather forecast guidance are not in good agreement in showing what sort of a track this storm system may take. Some guidance points towards a track up towards the Cape and Nantucket, which would yield a pretty significant snowstorm around Saturday into Sunday. Other weather forecast guidance shows a suppressed track which would keep this storm well south of our area leaving us with little, if any snow. To make things even more complicated, there are hints in the weather forecast guidance for a follow up storm that could impact our area with winter weather around next Monday into next Tuesday. This means that the track of the first storm this weekend will impact the track of the second storm early next week. So, for now, I’m thinking we will probably have at least some snow beginning Saturday afternoon that continues through Saturday night and Sunday morning. We could see a break in the action from Sunday afternoon into Monday with perhaps some additional snow possible around next Monday night into next Tuesday. I am monitoring the potential stormy weather pattern closely and will have many more updates in the coming days.
