FIRST SNOWFLAKES OF THE SEASON

NAM-NEST Precip type forecast 2 PM  (Click on image for a larger view.)

from Monday …

We have a chance of seeing the first snowflakes of this season early Wednesday morning. A weak upper air disturbance (clipper system) will move through the Philadephia area between 6 AM and 9 AM Wednesday morning.

Snow flurries are likely but most areas will either get no accumulation, or a light coating at most. Current water equivalents are very low, about 0.03 inches.

If this sort of non-event were to occur later in the season, it might not even merit a blog posting, but being the first flakes, I thought I’d get into gear.

There are some differences in model timing with tonight’s NAM and NAM-NEST having the this occur later in the morning. Stay tuned.
