Sunday Travel Weather...and a Look at the Longer Range...

As I previously mentioned, a significant storm will be affecting the area on Sunday that will likely have travel implications up and down the East Coast from southern New England to Florida. Most places from the Mid-Atlantic south won't have to deal with any winter weather, but a good, cold rain is likely. Airport connections will likely experience significant delays with bad weather expected in many locations. Here is the Sunday forecast for a bunch of cities:
Washington, D.C.: Rain, 44
Baltimore: Rain, 42
Philadelphia: Rain (some sleet possible early on), 43
New York City: Rain (a mix at the start), 44
Boston: Rain in the afternoon, 43
Pittsburgh: Rain/snow showers, 39
Buffalo: Rain, mixed with wet snow, 40
Cleveland: Rain (mix at the start), 40
Raleigh: Rain, 51
Charlotte: Rain, 49
Atlanta: Showers, 55
Chicago: Snow, 37
Orlando: Windy, showers, 78
Miami: Windy, thunderstorms, 83

A storm to watch in the longer range...

I've recently been talking about the fact that the next few weeks could bring some storminess and the two main longer range computer models are showing a potential storm to impact the area next weekend (Dec 6-7). It's rather intriguing, since there is a mass of cold air trying to enter the area prior to any event that takes place. The chill will be the result of a cold front that is right now expected to arrive on Thursday the 4th. It should be interesting to watch how the models handle this development in future runs. Right now, I'm certainly not ready to jump to any conclusions, as this is still 7-8 days in advance...but it's certainly something to watch. Stay tuned...
