Seasonable This Week...Snowflakes In the Air This Weekend?

Temperatures will average in the 40s most afternoons this week, although we could briefly eclipse 50 degrees with the arrival of the next weather maker on Wednesday. This will produce some rain Wednesday afternoon and night, with more strong winds likely into Thursday. Things will get a bit more interesting over the weekend, as colder air surges south from the Great Lakes and upper level energy digs into an Eastern U.S. trough. The longer range model data shows a surface low taking a clipper-like track through the Mid-Atlantic. Many critical values suggest any precipitation would be snow. We'll have to watch the temperatures in the lowest layer of the atmosphere, which could be just warm enough to counter everything else. However, it appears most of any precipitation that occurs could be at night. So snow lovers, you might get a taste of what you've been looking for. Don't look for a lot, but I think we have a shot at some light snow or flurries Saturday night into early Sunday morning. Stay tuned...
