Ok.. Winter is here! We are really in a situation the next several days and All I can say is.. I have no idea what to think!
Summary: It is Winter! We will see a light overrunning system this weekend and then a potential bigger storm Monday/Tuesday. The situation many are hoping for (snow lovers that is!) is a 50/50 low and blocking up in Canada which will spill cold air down east of eth Mountains . When the blocking is on the models, many areas have decent snow, if it is gone.. rain. GUT call will be a western suburbs storm next week, but it has potential to be bigger and better for areas mainly I-95 and west.. The first system this Saturday night into Sunday could drop 1-4 inches in some areas. This would be the northern areas of Virginia . At this point lets say Western Loudoun, Frederick areas. A switch to rain Sunday for most lower elevation areas.
The bigger system will come Monday and Tuesday. I am thinking cold rain with some initial mix for areas south and east of a Charlottesville to Dulles to West of Baltimore. A longer period of snow west of that area with 1 inch close to it with up to 4inches in the Mountains and higher terrain.
The next storm is really up in the air. I would say the same areas have the best bet for a big snowstorm, but the areas could really go further west without any blocking in Canada !
Tropics: Epsilon will hopefully be the last storm of the Season. Almost hit hurricane status yesterday but has weakened today. The season officially ended yesterday.
