Good Monday all-
Well, here we go. The week of New Year's is finally here, and I'll wish everyone the very best in 2015 a few days early here. Now, on to the week's weather. The work week's weather is going to be defined by one word- cold and colder. Very little precipiation is likely this week. Let's take a look...
Today and tomorrow- Sunny and cold, highs in the low 40s
New Year's Eve- Scattered flurries as a reinforcing cold front moves through. No accumulation, highs in the mid 30s.
The Ball Drop (Manhattan's weather)- Clear skies and temps in the high teens or low 20s. BURR!!
Thursday and Friday- Sunny, highs of around 37.
Saturday, Sunday, Monday- The potential exists of a major snowstorm, and I am watching it closely. There is equal chances of a 50 degree rainstorm, and a 20 degree whiteout snowstorm for everyone in Connecticut. For now, I believe the snow solution is a bit more likely...but we'll see what it is. If the storm comes, there could be very large snow accumulations.
As you can see, the big weather story this week is going to be determining exactly what we'll get next weekend, and exactly when it comes. A storm of some kind is very likely and has been modeled for several days, but only recently has there been any chance of snow. In meteorology, there's a saying "the trend is your friend", and it's been trending towards snow. Does that mean it'll happen? Of course not...but it does, perhaps, slightly tilt the odds in that direction.
Today in weather history- December 29, 2004- Tonsontsengal, Mongolia, records a barometric pressure of 32.25" Mercury, or for those non-weather geeks, 1092 mb, the highest in recorded history. (Avg pressure is roughly 1012 mb)
