3/12- Awful weekend

Good Thursday all-

Well, at least I am dropping the severe storm watch as the 3-day snowstorm is off the table.

However, the weekend doesn't look good either, so a regular STORM WATCH is up, as there is a significantly greater than 25% chance of getting 1+" of rain (75%). In fact, there is still about a 15% chance of 4+" of snow Sunday evening...so we'll leave it.  In any event, today is going to be great, tomorrow is going to be fine, but it's Saturday that will be a complete and total washout, as I expect as much as two inches of rain to fall beginning Saturday morning and lasting into Sunday afternoon...at which point it will change to snow...and likely drop 1-3" or so...but models have been a bit more aggressive with that this morning, so picking up a bit more is certainly possible. Next week looks totally fine, with snow showers Tuesday night. Sadly, although it's very early, the weekend of the 21st may include a snowstorm.


Today in weather history- March 12, 1888- Rain in the northeast changes into a heavy wet snow and then changes to fluffy as the temps plummet. As this happens, the storm stalls off the coast...and the biggest snowstorm in New England history begins in earnest.
