Good Thursday all-
A STORM WATCH is in effect for Christmas Eve, but for rain at the moment. I'll get there in a minute, however...
First off, today is going to be just fine, with partly cloudy skies and temps in the low 40s- in short, very similar to yesterday. The same goes for tomorrow and Saturday, but we run into some trouble with a light wintry mix Sunday, and then showers on Tuesday and then...
An absolutely monsterous storm will make an impact on us Wednesday. It's going to be huge. The problem for snow lovers is that the path appears to be in the Great Lakes, which means entirely rain. There may be some snow mixed in on the back end, but it'll be really tough to get accumulation, and I'm betting against it at the moment. Instead, we get stuck with wind-driven pouring rain on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, with 3-5" of rain a possibility. Thus, it is important to watch, since that could cause a travel nightmare in the region.
I'll have more info on this one later tonight.
Today in weather history- December 18, 2009- Winter Storm Albert begins a path that eventually ends up producing a widespread snowfall in Connecticut, the first of a rather mundane 2009-10 winter season. Totals exceed one foot in parts of the state, and totals generally were between 8-12" for most.
