Peeps,
Like I said we’d have a warm interlude as I call it – the proverbial January Thaw though it is a more Spring temperature thaw than a winter thaw but a thaw/warm up nonetheless.
Enjoy it and here come the
It is not and is a seasonal pattern variability always has and always will. You think we as humans control the quadrillion billion million molecules of water vapor in our atmosphere?? Think again:
So possible record breaking temperatures tomorrow and then we step back down and this man beats his brother a bit!!
DING DING – WINNER IS…………………………..
Okay so look at this map: Heavy Rains, Snow and Ice in a 500 mile swath
and the temperature gradient
STEP DOWN
So after this strong cold front moves through we’ll have very windy and
blustery conditions set up Sunday afternoon and evening
HOLD ONTO YOUR HATS CHAPPY!!
COLD AIR PUSHING IN
TEMPS FOR THIS WEEK
Long Range Temps 5 days near or below freezing – WOWZA!!
CLIPPER SYSTEM THURSDAY – showers and backside snow squalls possible
Snow for Rich and Carol land as well as Sarah and Scottie!!
REVERSAL
There is a big reversal in our weather pattern where we will be in a colder than normal regime that will feature very cold arctic shots of air and yes snowstorms!!
I said in a post back in the beginning of this decade (LOL) that we’d see this warm period from eh 12thish until teh 20thish and then a flip – BOOOOMMMM!!! It has happened with the ish’s!!
WE shall encounter a period where we may see our average snowfall be fullfilled from the MLK weekend until the mid March time frame and then some.
One weather scientist and met says the east coast will see 3 not 1, not 2 but 3 yes THREE
BLIZZARDS !!!!!
So we have a MLK special I’d like to call them were we have a storm in or around MLK’s holiday and this year is teh same:
Saturday into Sunday Jan 18 & 19th next weekend
That will go from snow to ice to rain lovely then freeze up as temps plummet. Details come out later this week so just know that this is what is possible.
FUN and busy times ahead for me peeps but this my prime time of the year!!
