700am

So maybe the storm threw me a curveball, but one thing I’m not misunderstanding is that we have no changes in the overall pattern for the near future… We will see a break from major storms, however, for several days. Two much weaker systems, “Alberta Clippers”, will move rapidly eastward through the area. The first one will cross the area late Friday with scattered mainly light snow showers. Little accumulation is expected from this feature. The second clipper will traverse our area on Saturday afternoon & evening. This one, being slightly stronger, may produce localized coating to 1 inch snow amounts.

Sunday will be mostly dry but a cold front crossing the region may produce a few isolated snow showers or snow squalls. This front will bring another very cold airmass into the region for the last day of January on Monday, though it still does not look as cold as the one from a week before.

Looking ahead to the first few days of February, more cold seems a certainty, with another snow threat as well. More about this in the next blog…
