Tonight's Snow & Next Weeks Confusion...

The clipper system tonight will be diving into our area pushing the snow ahead of it. The normal scenario is to have it come behind with the colder air. It is going to start as snow tonight but likely change to a mix to rain tomorrow morning. Some solutions show it remaining cold enough to stay all snow. Either solution will not have much moisture to work with so 1-2 inches will be all we should receive.

The morning drive to work or school could be another tricky mess. (I will spare you the lecture about driving for conditions.)

The weekend looks sunny and warm but some late Sunday precipitation keep creeping into the forecasts. That may drive down the expected high of 50 degrees.

The next big one...

The start of next week looks to be a wicked mess of weather. Models are flip-flopping almost with each run and doing it so wild I don't think anyone has a real handle right now. One of the major problems is the closed low pressure which is below the flow of the jet stream. Its path is very unpredictable. For us, we could see anything from warm with severe weather to a heavy rain storm of 2-3 inches to 6-12 inches of snow or a mix of everything. I think it is going to take some time to sort this one all out.

I was looking forward to another lecture about driving. :) Nice blog. I am going to just skip going to any other weather sites from now on...
When are we going to see www.jimsweather.tv and have live broadcasts?
