It's been a few days since I posted anything but I took some time off. Anyway here is the latest On what looks to be happening this week Before I take another hiatus until after the New Year.
The surface chart in radar Show that quick moving clipper moving through the region, With some snow in the northern parts of the region and a little bit of rain over part of southern new England. Temperatures are going to warm changing the scattered snow to spotty rain over much of New York State over to a little bit of rain and maybe some sleet and or freezing rain, While the highest elevations hang on to a little bit of the snow. Snow accumulation should be limited . This evening and tonight snow will continue across Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine Snow will continue across Vermont New Hampshire and Maine The lower elevations could see 1 to 4 inches While the higher elevations pick up 4-8 inches. We will have an inverted trough over Maine. So you could see higher snow amounts closer to and along the MidCoast Where 8-12 inches of snow will be possible. Temperatures will cool back down and we will Also see a bit of light lake effect snow set up downwind of lake Erie and lake Ontario starting tonight Into tomorrow again accumulation shouldn't be too bad 1 to 3 inches. The clipper should be pulling away from the coast tomorrow morning.
High pressure is gonna build back in behind the clipper providing fairly tranquil conditions for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. but we're going to have another fast moving system Move through northern parts of the region Which will allow those temperatures to get back on to the seesaw along with a chance for some light snow showers
Any left Over lake effect should end tomorrow morning, and the breeze will be lessening as colder air moves in. Then tomorrow night into Christmas morning Temperatures will be warming again Before the cold front comes back through for later Thursday into Friday cooling us back down.
After Christmas there's a chance for a couple more storms as the pattern remains active.
The first will be later Friday into Saturday. We're going to have high pressure sitting up near James Bay. So during Christmas arctic air will move Into the the Northeast and Middle Atlantic. At the same time we're going to have the disturbance dropping out of the Great Lakes and moving south and east. How this disturbance tracks will be the key onto who sees the heaviest snow. We're going to have a strong southern flow ahead of the storm across Pennsylvania into Virginia and Middle Atlantic. That's going to run into that dome of arctic air trying to push south. Ice and sleet could become a big deal across central and southern Pennsylvania. The setup Looks to favor Northeast Pennsylvania, northern New Jersey, across New York City Long Island into southern New England and western and the southern tier of the of New York state with chance of seeing significant snow. Depending on how the storm tracks Boston could see a few inches of snow out of this. For Philadelphia Into central New Jersey including Baltimore you could see a couple inches of snow before changeover to a mix. For DC and Atlantic City it looks to be chilly with just rain. North of these areas snow amounts will be dropping off. But some of it could make it into southern Vermont, southern New Hampshire as will as Albany and areas like Syracuse.
This all depends on the track and it's subject to change but that's the way it looks right now!
The second system will be on Sunday into Monday. Bringing snow/mix and lake effect.
This is the season of light Where we celebrate things like Christmas Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. But each of these show, It's a time of laughter joy and family. My wish to you Is that you find beauty and that all that's meaningful brings you joy and happiness!
