STORM WATCH ISSUED

Good evening!

Well, it's time to be in storm watch mode as we follow a nor'easter for early next week. The timing is yet to be nailed down, but Monday and Tuesday could both be impacted. It's a model war developing again. The European model, which pretty much nailed the 11/26 storm, is not far away from (maybe 15 miles or so) forecasting nearly thirty inches of snow for everyone in Connecticut, blizzard conditions for everyone in New England, and a very similar setup to what we saw in February 2013. DO NOT, and I repeat DO NOT take this literally, but it shows the potential is there for a rather large snow event early next week. Also, there may be an entirely different nor'easter nearby a week from tomorrow. There is a slim possibility, albeit a very slim one, of the oh-so-rare double whammy...that would be something to write home about if both made a direct hit. Either way, we need to focus on Monday and Tuesday for the major nor'easter threat first. Thursday will wait for another time. The STORM WATCH I am issuing will run from 8 AM Monday to midnight Wednesday AM, but that is just to encompass all possibilities and will be revised as the models come into agreement.

Will we get nothing at all, or walloped with feet of snow twice next week? Who knows....but I'll keep you posted!
