Wednesday’s Storm – Rush Hour Problem & Sloppy Seconds
Related Articles
Peeps,
Tomorrow is going to a be nightmare rush hour again and it is a sloppy seconds storm since we had one last Tuesday. Why a slop storm? That is what it is called when we get all three or four wintry precipitation types of snow – sleet, graupel and freezing rain. Wonderful on the back to shovel of course.
Early Dismissals?? That is a good possibility for NNJ schools tomorrow.
Storm Details:
Start time from west to east 12 noon to 2PM ish
Snowfall Amounts – 1-3″, Maybe 2-4″ for NNJ if we can get lucky.
CNJ – 2-4″
Transition from snow to sleet around 5/6pm ish could be sooner if the warm air gets in faster – its all about timing and hate to say it no one model sees this best.
