Sunshine returns!

>> Wednesday, November 17, 2010



It was a fairly rough and tumble evening across the region with showers and some severe storms. A number of wind damage reports came in all the way from South Carolina up into southern New England.

However, today we are on the back side of that departing low pressure area, and that means dry air has returned to the area. We will see sunshine all day with highs in the low to mid 60s. It will also be fairly breezy today on the back side of that low.

Our next system will swing in tomorrow, but it will be in a weakening state, and moisture will be very limited, so I don't expect any rain. However, we will have some clouds move through as our Thursday unfolds.

Another great weekend!

What else is new.....another great weekend forecast! Highs will be in the 60s with full sunshine this weekend. Morning lows will be in the upper 30s to near 40.

Thanksgiving week...

It will be a warm start to our Thanksgiving week with lots of sunshine Monday and Tuesday and highs warming into the upper 60s by Tuesday....even some lower 70s are quite possible.

However, a cold front will likely drop in here by Wednesday or Thursday, bringing some rain chances. Very cold air is waiting in the wings behind that front, and I will continue to say the window of opportunity opens for that cold air to drop in here as we go deeper into the Thanksgiving weekend.

Matt,

Don't know if you're seeing what I'm seeing, but it looks like we might be tracking a nasty ice storm towards the end of the month first few days of December. Of course it's just an educated guess given by the models this far out, but it's been showing up on some of the modeling for the past couple of days. With it being so early in the season, you have to take it with a grain salt! Fun to track though...

Hey Matt,
I hope that we get a snow event all the way down to the coast. Looks like if the GFS keeps steady, South Carolina and northward may get a nice snow/ice event. Very interesting.....

I'm sorry, but there is not one GFS model or any model for that matter that shows any kind of snow or ice event around here. I think some people are way into the "wishful thinking" mode.

Umm yeah there are. Actually, quite a few GFS models are pointing at snow/ice...

Yeah, not seeing it. Further north towards VA way, yeah maybe. Air will be to cold/dry to support any kind of precip. If you read further into the modeling, by the time the precip would arrive air is to warm for snow or ice.

Thanks for the comments guys....had a busy day yesterday. Just posted the new discussion....video out shortly.

Once the cold air gets in place, there are hints of at least a somewhat active storm track. If so, we could have some chances...
