On To The Next Storm!

Hello everyone and thanks for stopping by the blog tonight! I have a full update coming for you on the next storm system to impact the area on Thursday. This system looks to bring a little bit of everything to the area. Let's go further in depth shall we?

First off clouds will start to filter in from the west and southwest from this moster system thats currently bringing upwards of a foot of snow to the midwestern states. Late ron in the evening we'll start to see the percipitation start. As of now I fully expect most areas to start off as a brief mix of rain, sleet, and snow. With that being said, some locations may be a touch cooler and may see a patch of all snow but if you do see that it'll only last a few seconds to a half minute at the most.

We'll then start to see a surge of warmer air moving in out of the south and this air will provide a change over from a mix precipitation to all rain. By midnight Thursday I expect most if  not all locations to have already seen the change over to all rain. This rain will last well into the morning hours on Friday, I would say the rain should be all out of the way by noon by the latest. The clouds will linger through the afternoon and evening hours with warmer temperatures still in place. Highs Friday will top out at about 59 degrees.

All this warm air will hang around for the weekend and actually making for one of the nicest weekends we've seen in a while. Saturday morning we'll have a 60% chance of rain but that will be in the earliest of the morning hours by 8am the threat should be all gone. We'll then see the sun come out and warm us up to about 53 degrees.

Sunday actually looks nice to end the weekend with clear and sunny skies. Temperatures won't quite warm up as much as Friday and Saturday but with sunny skies should make up for that. I see high temperatures topping out right around 51 degrees.

Enjoy these warmer temperatures this weekend as change is just looming around the corner as this look to continue to be active in our neck of the woods. I see some systems arriving about every two to thre days and with the potential for some to blow up into bigger storms. I will en on this note, do you remember when I made that post on facebook just yesterday about the potential for a big storm in the Ohio Valley? Well just in case you didn't, models have been showing the chance for a big system developing and moving into our area sometime between the last few days of February and the first few days of March. Yes, this does look like a snow maker but the details won't be ironed out for another week at the least. I wanted to say I still see that pattern showing up on the models.

Will that big system happen? Only time will tell and I'll be watching for it until then. Have a great night everyone and take care! :)
