Weather It Is (A Couple of Days)

Good morning:

The cold and rainy weather is coming, but we'll still have a couple of days before we really begin to feel that the weather is changing.  Of course, we might notice the high clouds out ahead of the approaching system…

We're getting indications that this will be a two part storm, with the first batch of rain rain followed by even colder and wetter weather.  We're still seeing the potential for snow late in the week or early next week, but this is just a small chance.

You can see from the 850 mb temperature forecast the huge drop in temperatures as we move past the first couple of days of the forecast. You can see that some of the ensemble members are even forecasting temperatures similar to those we experienced last January.

The forecast precipitation amounts reflect this winter scenario.

(These forecasts can be seen under the GEFS forecast link.)

Happy Chanukah.
