Update on Next Week’s Forecast……….& Beyond to February 22
February 8th, 2013 at 3:58 pm by Chad Evans under Chad's WLFI Weather Blog
Still looks like snow potential next week, followed by much colder weather.
Issues still reside with timing of snow & storm track (& associated amounts), largely because it is many days out. However, there is a model & analog signal of snow system brewing.
There is one, arriving in California & the Four Corners by Monday. It should be in Texas with wet snow in Oklahoma & northern Arkansas to Missouri Tuesday evening. After that, whether it moves due east with accumulating snowfall south of us or does make the turn more northeasterly remains to be seen. Regardless, I like keeping snow potential from this in the forecast Wednesday evening-night-Thursday morning because it is too far out to make any quick, radical forecast changes after following a persistence forecast.
Secondly, there is another system with a track near the Ohio River Thursday night-Friday with sharply colder air behind it. This may have accumulating snow.
All this said, I just like snow chances in the forecast Wednesday evening-night-Thursday morning & then Thursday night-Friday & then we’ll dissect & detail the forecast much more in the coming days to next week.
With the Arctic air, two clippers in the February 16-22 period may bring minor-accumulating snowfall.
Thank you for the update Chad! Will be watching as always
Still looking forward to hearing what the possible totals from this next system…hoping a foot or two…
Sorry shaun , I don’t see that. In fact I am not sure we will get enough to cover the grass next Thursday/Friday.
We are in a persistent channel – north and south.
JEM. Hey the Stoogies will get this big dump and in Chad we trust.
Yep “Moe” I am sure Chad will let you know if there is a shift in this system. The one thing Chad cant do is give you the “big dump” you are wanting..be patient my fellow weather friend:) This is a few days away.
Rb true my Stoogies are waiting.
Not that I put much stock in it, but TWC has us with highs in the mid to upper 40′s late next week. Here’s hoping that’s wrong! Bring on nemoII
Right on mike
Orko is going to hit us, watch and see….
Lets go Madman. !
Some places upair in conneticut have 15 inches of snow already and its nit even really begun yet, all i can say is lucky B,s!!!!!!
Just heard from my daughter who lives near Hartford, CT. They had about 8 inches snow at that time. (half hour ago) Have heard on FOX news that in some places it is snowing at 5 inches per hour!!! I have seen it snow an inch and hour and that is coming down at a pretty good clip! Her in-laws live in a suburb of Boston.
