Wednesday February 27 2019
Temperatures have chilled down and will remain cold for a while. The next two days will be quiet, but we are still expecting a little snow on Friday morning. This will be a weak system but timing out around sunrise so that it could have some travel impact. It still looks like between a dusting and 2 inches of snow is possible. The problem is that the array of computer models are having trouble locking in on this and a very active weather pattern through next week. March will be coming in like a lion.
This morning the pattern is split. The outlook will combine forces for us to get more active weather next week.
- Northern branch: Snow rising the through the Great Lakes into New England.
- Southern brach: Rain across the Gulf Coast

The NAM Model does appear to be the most aggressive. It tends to do that, but I have seen it lead the charge with a few event this year that earned it some credit. Compare this to other models below.

Outlook
This weekend: Another storm is likely top bring us rain
Next Week: A few storms but the computer modeling is all over the place. It would be a disservice to show you them now without any consistency of timing and type of ‘stuff’ that will fall. Why I feel comfortable showing you is the jet stream that will be dominated by a cold flow. That also has energy to bring multiple weather systems for the first week of March
Blue: Colder than climatological average
