(next) Wednesday’s Winter Weather Waggery?

Wow…more Ws than a CSI investigation!

Long time, no blog.

Not that we should get hyped up about a potential day-8 event, but this winter that’s about the extent of what we have to cling to.  I’ve been bored with the winter weather drought and fed up with the 30-something rains…so let the snow mongering begin!

Before we get to the hypotheticals of 7-8 days out, let me affirm the significance of the cold air on the way for this weekend.  It will be impressive.  Lows in the low teens, and highs on Sunday (despite a lot of sun) in the mid 20s.

Then as the pattern relaxes a bit after that, how quickly will a southern stream disturbance arrive in NC where the cold resides?  Long range modeling has been

hinting at a confluence of the two for a couple of days.  Over the past couple of model run cycles there seems to be more agreement that a storm with a southerly track will affect the SE by mid-week.  How the low tracks is up for grabs…and as you know, you’ll want to be on the northern side of the track to receive wintry precip.

That’s enough for now.  Just be alert the possibility.

And…I’ll tease you with a new game that I’ll introduce in tomorrow’s post. 😉

    I’m just going to say that I heard thunder yesterday.

    I too heard that thunder and saw the lightning. Never more have I wanted old wives to be true.

    I am headed to Florida next Friday so I would prefer if you are incorrect this once.
