Thursday February 7 2019

We are still on the cool side of this frontal boundary, but it is trying to move back north. The result will bring some light scattered showers, but most of the day will be dry. While there will be some warmer air tomorrow morning, we will cool back down this weekend. Then we set the stage for a new winter weather event.  I do have FITF for more snow, but the way this will play out is still uncertain. What I do believe is that we need to expect some impact from snow Sunday night into Monday and then more snow and ice on Tuesday.

 

Daily Weather Highlights

Maps for these events are below.

  • Today: Mostly dry, just a few showers. Temps bear 50ºF
  • Friday: High temps by noon. Mid day rain, then cooling
  • Weekend: Mostly dry and cooler
  • Sunday night into Monday: Some light snow
  • Monday evening into Tuesday: Snow mixing to ice then rain

Is it too early to get excited for a winter storm?

  • This thing has not formed yet! So the location and timing is up for debate.
  • Agreement: Some snow Monday, but then more impact snow and ice on Tuesday.
  • The timing of the heavier snow, ice, and rain I what is not locked in yet.
  • Check out this contrast and see the maps below

Skipping To The Storm

Compare the timing of snow, ice, and rain between the European (ECMWF) and American Model (FV3-GFS)

How Much? It is too early for anyone to suggest how much we could get. Especially since the timing, track, and transition to ice and snow are not certain.

I would still keep your plans in mind to possibly be affected Sunday night into Tuesday night.

Temperature Outlook

Notes:

Friday’s high temperature should be before noon.

Monday and Tuesday: The model shows highs above freezing, but look at the lows at 31ºF. Looking deeper, this model supports the snow with colder temps Monday night into mid day Tuesday. So the highs are before and after the snow portion shown in the slider above.

 

 

Temperature Trend: GFS Model

Even with some mild surges, there is plenty of cold air waiting to return. Valentine’s Day looks to start another cold spell.
