Unsettled Early Next Week...

We're still on schedule for more cold air to arrive later this weekend. However, the potential storm that looked some impressive on Tuesday's data has changed dramatically. The model data is still in pretty good agreement, but there are major adjustments. It appears we'll be near a boundary early next week that could spread a few waves of moisture into the Mid-Atlantic. This could lead to some light precipitation, either rain or snow showers. The main event is now advertised to take a track well to the west and north of us, through the Ohio Valley. This would usher milder air back north and make any precipitation for us rain later in the week. However, the European model is still in question as to its exact track, as it continues to try and build high pressure to the north through the week. With a split flow in the upper levels, this will be an interesting pattern to watch develop. More with the next update...
