Today is that fun curiosity we get each 4 years- happy leap day!
Today, for the most part, is going to be just fine- we're going to get very near or perhaps even eclipse 50, though some showers in the afternoon are a distinct possibility. The weather settles down for tomorrow, but it's Wednesday that the first storm watch comes into effect for us.
A strong low is going to move about 100 miles to our west, which puts us on the warm side of the system and is going to cause some thunderstorms that, although not as strong as last weeks, should still pack a fair punch. In any event, they will very likely produce over an inch of rain, so the storm watch goes up at this time.
Thursday and Friday look fine, but we run the risk of a very significant snow event on Saturday. The models disagree on the potential at this time, as would be expected five full days out, but if things come together it *could* be the biggest storm of the season. That said, once we get through this one...we *may* be through with the snow for this year as nothing really is in sight beyond that.
Today in weather history- Eh, who am I kidding? There haven't been enough Feb. 29ths to have had any massive weather events happen on this date.
Have fun today!
