One goes north, one goes south, both miss us
Posted Jan25, 2008 at 05:10 PM
Here are a couple of National Weather Service radar grabs this afternoon showing precipitation both near the Great Lakes and in the Gulf Coast states. Much of the
precipitation to the north is snow, and even some of the
precipitation to the south is freezing rain and sleet. But the likely outcome is that we miss both of these areas of disturbed weather as they scoot eastward. There could be a little snow or rain here and there Saturday, but it doesn't look like any kind of really organized, large-scale system. That kind of system may well form just off the East Coast late Saturday ... Tidewater could have a close brush with significant snow, with a better chance up toward New Jersey.
This split system will bring this round of winter to an end, as warmer air rushes in the next few days and a strong storm system takes aim on the Great Lakes for midweek, keeping us firmly in its warm sector and away from ice and snow. Neither a 70-degree day nor thunderstorms can be ruled out in the Monday through Wednesday timeframe. Late next week, a new storm system could follow the same track, or may aim for an East Coast track that would bring wintry precipitation back to our region. Lots of time to consider that as we bask the next few days.
