Due to the discomfort at times, rest has been a challenge, but I am making progress and expect to recover fully. These things are no joke. I sincerely appreciate everyone’s concern and well wishes. SYNOPSIS OUTLOOK THROUGH THE WEEK indicates weak disturbances passing through the region. A southerly wind for Monday pumps warmer air into the area, which will help loosen up and melt some of the ice and snow over the next couple of days. A warm front passes through the region Monday night and may bring a quick hit of snow over interior areas, from a few flakes over southwestern areas to perhaps an inch or two over the north and mountains. A southwesterly flow brings the warmest day the region has seen in weeks for Tuesday. A weak, moisture-starved cold front approaches Tuesday afternoon and brings the risk of rain showers (elevation snow showers) into Tuesday night. Mountain snow showers are possible for Wednesday, with the rest of the region staying dry. Clouds are expected to increase Wednesday afternoon into the overnight. Thursday morning is a point of interest for travel concerns over the south and west as an inside runner approaches the region. Most areas start as snow and flip to rain as the storm tracks up the St. Lawrence River. While precipitation appears widespread, I don’t expect any significant outcome. A trailing cold front passes through Thursday night, and snow showers for the Quebec border region are possible on Friday. With the cold in place, which sets the table for the potential of a long-duration snow event, I tentatively plan to start Saturday afternoon over the south and west and linger into Sunday. Guidance is going through a spell here with missed and/or later phases of the polar and Pacific jet streams and the wrench of upper-lows forming over the southwest, which has been well documented here over the years to cause forecast uncertainty. Stay tuned for updates on this weekend's system. The Weather Wall with all your current |
