Sunday Morning Weather Update: Might Squeeze Out Few Flakes, But Main Event Rain

Good morning everyone. Well, I can confidently tell you all we have a big rainstorm on tap for this week. This includes even interior New England which I thought had a shot here. I never liked the idea of snow in big cites or even the I-95 but I did not expect the storm to track this far inland. Maybe I should have listed to my own words this week when I kept discussing how those trends in the ridge positioning where a bad sign. Oh well, here is the updated forecast:

• Some rain moves in tonight
• High elevations of extreme NW NJ might see a few flakes
• An initial wave of low pressure enters area on Tuesday night
• Some cold air will be in place so there is a shot of northern counties into southern New England actually seeing some accumulating snow!
• Stay tuned for more details on this
• After this initial wave moves through, the main storm develops and cuts to our west Wednesday
• This means warm air surges in and we get rain all the way up into interior New England
• Rain should end Thursday
• Colder conditions return in the wake of this storm.
• Believe it or not, the first half of March stays active with colder than normal conditions and shots at snow
• I know everyone wants to call winter over, but we can not let our guard down
• Factors like stratospheric warming will keep things interesting as cold stayed pooled near the east

I cut a short video below breaking down this week including the shot at some snow Tuesday..
