Snowflakes Before Halloween?

Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog on this Sunday cold Sunday evening. I hope all of you are staying warm as it is only going to get even colder in the coming days as a few more shots of colder air moves in which each shot continues to be colder than the previous one.

Our next shot of cold air will come Tuesday night as a potent cold front moves through from the northwest. Any cold front that comes from this direction will cool things down no matter what season it is. Basically in winter, it will take conditions from cold to even colder. Anyways, Wednesday will only feature high temperatures in the mid and upper 40's. Temperatures will struggle to even get this high. On Wednesday and piece of energy will rapidly move in from the northwest, it's a sort of a clipper system to speak. We normally see these a lot in the winter months and normally these puts down a few inches of snow, that is, in the winter months.

On Wednesday night we'll start to see this fast moving piece of energy push on out of here. Rain will change to snow flurries on the backside of this, only thing that is uncertain is how long will the flurries last? My question is can this be photogenic at some times Wednesday night? Good enough to have proof and say 'hey, first snowflakes of the season' hopefully. I want to show you all the latest NAM model. Now remember, the GFS has been calling for snow showers here lately, the NAM says just flurries. Funny thing about this is that the GFS shows no accumulation, yet the NAM does. Take a look:

Yeah I know this isn't for our area but this is rather close for this time of the year.

Seeing the chance for accumulating snows this close to home, this early before Halloween is normally a good sign for you cold and snow lovers. No matter, this weather guy has a bad feeling about the winter ahead. If you've been following my updates regularly on my new page Clayton Banks SEKYWeather you'll know that so far this year is adding up to the years 1978 and 1993 which both produced snow storms to significant proportions. These dates continue to be the top trends on the analog models.

Either way  you look at it I fully believe we'll see the first snowflakes of the season Wednesday night. It isn't very often that we see snowflakes before Halloween on any given year so that could be a red flag at we roll on through the Fall season and push ever so much closer to Winter. I should have a final word in the next few weeks to announce when I will have the last half of my winter weather forecast read. Keep an eye on for that.

Have a great night everyone and take care! :)
