12/26- Sunday's threat returns...

Good Friday all-

First, I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas and got what they asked for! Anyway, today's weather is going to be fantastic, as will tomorrow's. In a very surprising development last night, however, the Sunday storm has made a comeback...as it suddenly shifted a fair amount north, enough to make me believe there is now about a 20% chance of a decent size snowstorm, thus the storm watch may need to go back up later tonight if trends continue. Also, the New Year's storm appears to be coming about 24 hours later than forecast, so I'll delay the STORM WATCH to noon on 1/1/15 to noon the following day for the time being. Otherwise, expect sunny skies and seasonable temps for late December.

Today in weather history- December 26, 2010- Blizzard Adrianne clobbers our region with as much as a foot of snow in places, along with extremely strong winds (with gusts to 50+ in places). This was the first major snowstorm of the 2010-11 Winter Season, which will forever live in infamy in New England weather lore as the January that followed produced more than the average seasonal total in snowstorms, including two monsters (Winter Storms Benedict and Denis, which you'll see discussed in this segment in the next month or so).
