We are in for ANOTHER Monday winter storm, when will it end??

Early snowfall forecast for Sunday evening, night and Monday morning.

Early snowfall forecast for Sunday evening, night and Monday morning.

It’s the weekend, of COURSE we’re tracking.. more snow.

Can you FEEL the sun getting warmer? It’s trying, but winter is just holding on for dear life!  Our average high “should be” around 42 degrees, we have been struggling through the 20s!  Certainly on track for the coldest February EVER!

Here’s the deal with the first few days of March.

It’s the weekend, of COURSE we’re tracking.. more snow.

Can you FEEL the sun getting warmer? It’s trying, but winter is just holding on for dear life!

Here’s the deal with the first few days of March.

Saturday: Sunshine, cold. highs in the 20s. Cold, clear Saturday night.

Sunday: Increasing clouds, a wave of low pressure moves in our direction and we should see snow developing late day or in the evening.

Snow will end on Monday morning, with sunshine by afternoon.

Early call: It is looking something like a 2-4″, 3-6″ snowfall. Not major, but moderate, and messing up the Monday morning commute.

The first week of March looks stormy! We’ll see another storm move in our direction by Tuesday afternoon, this one looks to pull some warm air in here and start as snow but trend to a mix, perhaps some rain? We’ll keep you posted on that.

The bottom line: Snow piles grow even bigger, and our patience shrinks with the winter that seemingly seems never ending.

When will it warm up? I see a ‘blip’ of warmth with that midweek storm, before it gets cold again toward next weekend.

Keep your eyes on St. Patty’s Day, I see ‘some’ warmth by then (appreciable .. but short lived).

Think warm, it will happen, it’s just going to take some time to transition from this record breaking winter.

Next week: Looking active, but too soon for specifics.

Quick Saturday AM Update:  Next week is still looking active, however, at this point, it looks like mostly a rain storm for us, starting perhaps as a wintry mix Monday night and rain and wind on Tuesday.  Will keep you posted of any changes working on in.

Forecasting:  It means to look ahead.  That’s what we do.  Of course, since weather is not an exact science, things change, but we can do our best to keep you posted when we see “signals” of storminess ahead.

We’ve been seeing the hint of “something” in the form of an area of low pressure anytime from late Sunday into Monday night.  It’s not the best set up for wintry precipitation here (although, model data has trended a little colder compared to yesterday).  It bares watching, because it’s slow moving.  It could bring a prolonged period of wind and rain.

For Wednesday

For Wednesday

Whatever happens with the Sunday/Monday system, we’ll have to watch for signs of another coastal low forming after that storm departs. This one (as of right now, and this will change) Looks colder, and favors more wintry precipitation.

As things change and evolve I’ll keep you updated here.  Also, more frequently on TWITTER and FACEBOOK

Enjoy the warmth now because arctic cold is coming

The coldest air of the season will make headlines over the next several days.

For us, we have a few days to enjoy the warmer weather, before the arctic cold makes its way south.

WVIT Forecast 7 Day 2015

The 7-day forecast above shows temps nearing 60 by Tuesday and Wednesday.  Take a look at the end of the week. We almost cut that 62 degree temperature in half by Friday.

Take a look at the temps above, this is one computer model showing highs next Saturday in the 30s.

Now, the big question will be, will there be any moisture to meet up with the cold.  At this point there looks to be some sliding by to our south on Friday.  Beyond that, longer range models show a cold and fairly storm pattern pre-Thanksgiving.  Stay tuned!
