Tomorrow? No Sweat

So for the first time in a long time this winter, two storms will be forming along the east coast and neither one is going to hit us.

Tonight, a storm will hit the water off the coast of North Carolina and slide harmlessly out to sea, several hundred miles south of Nantucket. At the same time, a weak storm will be moving towards us from the Great Lakes. This storm will be little more than a nuisance though but because that big storm will be providing some strong winds from the south to help enhance the little storm. Probably about 2-3 inches over interior MA and maybe 1 inch inside of I95 since surface temps will be close to if not above 32. This will all be over by mid afternoon tomorrow.

Many of you have asked about our MEGA storm on Thursday. Well its off, for us at least. A major pattern change is going to happen (although we might not see much of a difference in New England) and there is going to be some very cold air settling across much of the country, followed by a HUGE warm up. Remember how Dallas had snow and 20 degree temps this week? How about 80 degrees for them next week. Chicago might make it to the mid 50's. DC and Baltimore will get close to 60. This is all next week of course and before that, many of these areas will see a very large storm. Such temperature extremes always create big storms. This will be a big one for the deep south with snow/freezing rain and and ice. A big mess for them coming Thursday.

For us, we are now under the protection of a big High Pressure block. Its a good news/bad news situation. The good news is that this blocking high will push all storms out to sea and away from us. The bad news is that it will also keep us in a "cold bubble" that prevents us from seeing the big warm up that the rest of country sees.

Oh well.
