SlopStorm tonight....SuperStorm Next Weekend?

Look,

I was never really impressed with this storm and am even less impressed now. When you dont have high pressure in Southern Canada which 1) holds the cold air in 2) Slows the storm down 3) helps the storm to explode due to the gradient between high pressure and low pressure, you dont get a big east snowstorm generally. Still think low pressure will come up from the gulf of mexico but because it moves so fast will have limited moisture to work with. Also the cold air is stale as I mentioned a few days ago. So this is going to be a slop storm with snow,sleet,freezing rain. I dont think anyone will get more than 1-2 inches from this. Most of this stuff will fall overnight so it could hamper rush hour tomorrow but i cant see any delays or cancellations. Sorry people. This isnt the one.

Now, this time next week....we could be looking at a massive winter storm as the pattern changes some and allows the bitter cold which will be in place early next week to relax. We could have a potent southern stream attacking alot of cold air. I really think this has potential to be a monster.

After the slop storm...expect really cold conditions for the start of next week with temps in the single digits in the morning when you wake up to go to work for a few days.
