Good Saturday afternoon everyone. I wanted to drop by really quickly for an update before I watch the Cats and crash after a long past couple of days. The time to rest will be short as our next winter weather maker will be moving our way by Monday night to set us up for a very wintry period for the middle and end of next week.
I thought I would tease some of you who missed out on this round of snows. Take a look at a couple shots I grabbed on my iphone this morning from my part of the world...
Here is a cool video of the road conditions from nearby Huntington ,WV that was sent to me by one of my co workers...
As you can see... I didn't blow the forecast for everyone! ![]()
We now turn our attention to the next round of wintry weather moving in from Monday night through Friday of next week. The lead system may be enough to qualify as a "storm" around here with snow and a mix for Monday night and Tuesday with snows taking over after that as arctic air takes hold of the pattern. This will be one heck of an arctic front that will slam the region on Tuesday with gusty winds and falling temps. You can see this setup nicely on the GFS Ensembles...
Wicked is a term that comes to mind for the weather around here for the middle and end of next week. Whether or not we get a big snow out of the Tuesday storm... the daily threat of snows will be with us into the end of next week to go along with very cold temps. The pattern shows no signs of breaking down over the next 2 or three weeks at least.
I will have a full update later tonight so check back. Take care.
Good Saturday morning everyone. It was a short night for your friendly weatherdude since I worked the did the late shows Friday night and was back in a few hours later this morning on special assignment working the early Saturday morning update. Sleep is so overrated! ![]()
The stubborn warm layer of air really cut into the snow totals for a lot of areas. The northern and northeastern parts of the state were the areas where we focused on for the heaviest snows and that is working out pretty good with a good 2"-4" of snow already having fallen since last night. An additional 1"-3" will be possible this morning before the snow tapers off. This is such a wet snow that it is compacting so quickly that you may never have more than 3 or 4 inches on the ground at any one time.
South of the interstate... my forecast has not been very good as the rains held on MUCH longer than I thought. You will switch over to snow this morning... but I simply cannot see more than an inch or two at the MOST! Of course... we didn't forecast much at all in this area... but you get the idea.
The eastern half of the state will see moderate bands of snow moving through here this morning as our upper level low pinwheels through the area. You can track the snows here...
I have some weather cams for you guys to check out. You can see there are plenty of places that DID get in on some good snows...
