A WINTRY WEEK OF WEATHER IN THE MAKING...

An active, cold wintry pattern has established itself over the norther tier of states. As a result, the region is primed for bouts of light to perhaps moderate snowfalls as well as significant cold, even by December standards.

On Tuesday,  a storm system will brush the region with a light snowfall, particularly for the city band coast. Timing looks to be in the afternoon.

My thinking...Not an official forecast...

By late week, attention will shift toward how long and how strong a bitterly cold air mass will affect the region.

Intellicast

 Temps will likely stay below freezing during the day beginning on Thursday and into Friday.

The weekend is problematic. There is some concern for potentially extreme cold by the weekend, but more than the usual amount of uncertainty exists.

Another shot at snowfall will come late this weekend and early next week, as a storm makes a move out of the southern plains states towards the east coast.

Frequent updates will be necessary this week...
