Eating my words?

So....yesterday I was going on and on about how we were likely done with the crazy weather here in the Northeast.  I might be chewing on those words now.  I'll get to more about that later on in this post, let's focus on what is going to happen this weekend.

We have two weak systems that will pass through, one today and another on Saturday.  The system sliding through today will stay south of the region, mainly only causing some cloudiness.  A stray snow shower or flurry isn't out of the question.  Any accumulations will be less than 1".  The system coming in tomorrow will have a bit more moisture associated with it, along with more upper atmosphere support.  This will result in more widespread snowfall.  Some spots may see up to 2" of snow.  Best chances for this happening will be in Central and Eastern Massachusetts.  Temperatures will be in the upper 20s and low 30s over the weekend for highs and dropping back into the teens overnight.

Now if we look further out into the future, referring to the middle of next week, we could potentially have to deal with another storm.  This one will be a bit different from the ones we have seen over the last 4 weeks.  The previous few storms have developed along the East Coast and moved northward.  The storm that the models are hinting at for next week develops in the Southern Plains, Texas/Oklahoma.  This will pull moisture from the Gulf of Mexico, so it will be juicy.  However, usually these storms tend to have a bit more warm air associated with them, because of where the moisture is coming from.  The exact track of this potential storm is still uncertain and will probably stay uncertain until early next week.  At this time it appears to be a fast moving system that will bring a mix of rain/snow/sleet to New England.

I'll be keeping an eye on this over the weekend and will be updating as I can and when I have any new thoughts or information.

Thanks for reading!
