DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 18-22)
\nStorm system unfolded as expected, from the start as rain in many areas to the flip to snow in most areas to the areas expected to stay as rain, to the snowfall amounts. Meteorology over modelology. Some of the model forecasts were very poor on this event. Mid spring snow events do not behave according to model depiction of them, in general. So now this system will wind down gradually today. With April daylight, the accumulating snow is pretty much done, even though it continues to fall as of 9:00AM over a large portion of the region. But as we go through the morning and midday, the atmosphere is warming and a lot of that snow will mix with and turn to light rain\/drizzle before tapering to showers and gradually ending as drier air works in behind the departing low pressure area. And as is typical of spring, tomorrow you’d never know this happened as all the snow will be long gone and we’ll have a fair and much milder day ahead of a cold front. That front will slide across the region from north to south early Monday just before a wave of low pressure passes south of the region Monday night. This low should be a miss for most of the region but can be close enough for some South Coast rainfall late Monday. Tuesday looks milder again but yet another cold front will charge toward the region bringing a rain shower risk by Tuesday night, followed by fair and cooler weather Wednesday.
