Chance of some snow later today. Siberian Express gets here early next week

Well, the storm that I had been talking about for over a week turned out to be a bust. A termendous amount of snow and rain fell to our south but was pushed out to sea before it had a chance to affect our area.

Anyway--an upper level disturbance which was suppose to combine with our storm is going to pass thorugh later today and there is a chance that we could see a dusting to an inch or two especially if your in Maryland tonight. So dont be surprised if you see a sudden snow burst. The more north you are the bettter your chance is.

Next week looks brutal as far as cold. Ive beat the drum enough about this. Daytime highs in the upper teens to low 20's and night time temps between 0-10 will be common for next week.

After that....the cold air will relax some and we reshuffle the deck to a new pattern that will be warmer(but still cold) and wetter as storms start to cross from west to east. This could potentially set us up for a big storm in about 8-10 days.

This is a very hard pattern to get snowstorms from despite the extreme cold that is coming. We need to change this pattern and now modeling shows it may happen in about a week.
