Good Wednesday all-
A couple of interesting weather events are on the way here in Connecticut, with two winter events of note taking place in the next five days.
The first is Friday, as a quick moving coastal low brushes by our area and drops a light accumulating snow during the early morning hours. At the moment, inland areas can expect a general storm total of 2-4" inland, and 1-3" on the shoreline. Someone in the northwest hills has an outside chance of getting 6", but that total is unlikely for most of the state as it should change over to rain during the early morning hours (Around 8 AM). That said, considering the timing, many schools will be forced to delay away from the immediate shoreline. Some more cautious districts...or those in the hills, may even close completely if enough snow falls during that time.
The second, Saturday night into Sunday, has the *potential* to be much, much more significant as a MASSIVE storm is set to develop over our region. The track here means everything, and all events from mostly rain to two feet of snow remains in play. Right now, it looks like something in between- say 8-12" of snow followed by half an inch of ice followed by another 1-3" of snow...ouch. Any further south with the path would yield a snowstorm with multiple feet, and any further west/north would yield more ice and less snow. Let's just wait and see- I'll keep you posted as we approach the event that could well be Winter Storm Yoshi.
