A Wet Week Ahead

We have two rain events that will effect our area this week. One will be a strong cold front that will swing through our area tomorrow night from the remains of the low pressure system that produced the western US blizzard crosses the country. The other possibility looks to be a combination of the remnants of tropical storm Karen combining with a cold front off shore and possibly spinning a coastal storm into our area by the end of the week. 

Here is the front crossing tomorrow night..

This should be cleared out by Tuesday where will will have settled weather before the next potential coastal storm hits our area Thursday and Friday. Model projections from the European model below show what COULD happen..

Storm will be coming in from the east and stall out due to large area of high pressure to the north. Right now the jury is still out on this system it it very well can stay off shore, but the european model has been consistent with keeping the mid-atlantic in its bulls eye.  Here are  rainfall projections by week end..

Large area of 2-5 inches of rain potentially. I will keep monitoring this setup and lock in a forecast once I see some more data. As an aside, another large storm will effect the western US again by mid week and return more snow to the mountain areas of CO and WY.

More tomorrow night, thanks for checking in.
