3/25- From soaker to snow

Good Wednesday all-

On a good note, today won't be nearly as cold as yesterday and Monday. That said...it won't exactly be warm either, as I expect temps in the mid 40s today. Unfortunately...just when you think it's getting better...a cold front drops the temps like a rock tomorrow night. To make matters worse, the front brings heavy rain with it tomorrow...but the temps may reach the upper 50s! The problem? By Friday morning, it will have transitioned to snow! No accumulation is likely.

Unfortunately, that is just the first of four snow chances in the next week. They don't look particularly severe but it's worth noting flakes could fly...

Saturday- Some models are indicating the development of a 'Norlun Trough' which could drop a few inches of snow during the day Saturday.

Monday and Wednesday- Two late-season clipper systems move through...which could drop several inches of snow if they come together properly. Two to four inches would seem reasonable at this time...but TONS can (and probably will) change between now and then. That said, there is probably only a 5-10% of 4" of snow...so no storm watch for now.

Today in weather history- March 25, 1843- A major nor'easter creates enough cold air for Mississippi to get 3" of snow...and New England to get as much as a foot. The jackpot winner this time was the Appalachians of east Tennessee near Pigeon Forge...which received as much as fifteen inches of accumulation.
