WINTER WEATHER UPDATE

Tonight’s NAM has a QPF of 0.14 inches water. There is a sharp drop off of precipitation in areas north of the turnpike (as an good approximate northern extent.).  For tonight, 1-2 inches of snow in areas south of the turnpike, ending about 8 AM.

Areas further south of the city may have up to 3 inches and the snow will end later.

Light snow returns late in the afternoon Monday and increases in intensity late in the evening.

The second storm Monday night into Tuesday will be complex and I’ll be tackling that tomorrow.  Stay tuned.

Tuesday Wet Snow Forecast

Still away on vacation 🌴, but I thought I’d chime in on the weather for Tuesday.

An upper air disturbance will move across the area on Tuesday.  The latest NAM model has moved up the QPF to about 0.20 inches water. Upper air temperature profiles marginally support the precipitation falling as snow, BUT near surface air temperatures will likely be above freezing for much of the time.  Additionally, ground temperatures have been above freezing for awhile.

As a result, a very wet snow is expected with very little accumulation — likely just a coating, more on grassy surfaces.
