Big Heat Coming

I havent updated for a while but since we have a big ticket event coming, I thought I would chime in. What is the big ticket item? After a really nice stretch of cool spring temps, Summer is coming hot and heavy and we could hit the mid to upper 90's this weekend as we start a stretch of very hot temps as the pattern shifts. There is also a good chance of severe weather(T-Storms) tonight and tomorrow but this post was to warn you that some very impressive heat is coming. Some models have us close to a 100 this weekend but I dont buy that yet. But 95? Sure.

Hope everyone is enjoying spring

I really want to do the blog again next winter. Having a kid this winter really limited my time. If there are going to be any good Hurricanes, I will definitely update the board but this is mainly going to be a winter blog cause thats where all the existing weather is. Hopefully, we can get more snow next year.

Rise from the ashes

I havent blogged in over a month

1) because I am busy at work
2) New kid
3) This winter has been horrendously boring and there is really nothing to blog about.

The pattern of this winter is

1) Warmth and sometimes Extreme Warmth
2) Followed by Cold and Dry
3) The Cold moves out intime for the next storm
4) Storm moves west of us and gives us rain while the midwest gets snow
5) Cold moves back in but no storm
6) Cold moves out intime for next storm that cuts west of us
7) rinse and repeat.

However, we may have a chance late this week/Weekend at a possible winter storm so stay tuned. I will be blogging this week!

Snowy next 5 days

Folks, if you like snow, your time has come. It appears that the event today is going to outpeform the modeling and even do better than I thought it was capable. A general 3-6 for N and W of DC.

There is one this weekend though that really bears watching. Update later today but one model is giving us an incredible snowstorm. Lets see if the others latch on.

3 chances for snow in the next 10 days

1st chance is tomorrow. A storm from the gulf of mexico will head up the eastern seaboard. However, the cold air in place will not hold so it will start as snow and then turn to mix before ending. I think however enough snow will fall west of I-95 that we could see a light accumulation before the changeover. Temps will stay in the lower 30's and start to rise overnight as the storm center comes closer. Not a big storm but an interesting event.

2nd chance is Saturday night before the really cold air comes in for sunday. A wave is going to develop and skirt the area. Right now, the potential for light snow is there but we will have to watch this for bigger development.

3rd chance is the storm I am most excited about. I believe the cards are there for a significant storm in the Jan 24-25 time period. Stay tuned!
