WATCHING FOR A CROSS-COUNTRY STORM EARLY NEXT WEEK

The overview which handled the storm yesterday was poor, as the snow changed over later than expected, making for widespread accumulations of up to five inches in some places Monday evening. Also, the winds never seemed to ramp up once the storm left town late Tuesday afternoon.

Snow showers and flurries should develop tomorrow night into Thursday morning, with light accumulations possible, especially near the coast (east of NYC).

ACCU-weather

A chilly, but fairly tranquil end of the week/weekend looks to be on tap.

However, a major storm will develop and sweep across the country at the same time. Any potential affects in our area would be around Monday, but how far north the storm comes remains in question. The potential is certainly there for a heavy precip/strong wind producer early next week, so updates will be needed.

As noted here since late February, the blocking pattern we're seeing is not breaking down; it will lead to continued chilly weather through at least the end of the month, along with additional coastal storms.
