Storm to Produce Snow, Ice Thursday-Saturday, But Where?


Another late season snow/ice event possible late this week into the weekend. As you can see on the second map though this will not be a huge east coast storm, just a storm riding up along a front and bringing warm air farther north. There is a threat for major snow/ice though on the northern end of the storm. While we won't get a huge storm and just a weak wave of low pressure, there will be some overrunning precipitation well ahead of the storm so many areas in the snow/ice zones could see 24-36 hours of snow/ice, and it could add up in some areas. Now the first map shows why this storm won't bomb out on the east coast of form a secondary low that moves up the coast. Just way too much blocking over the Atlantic. More updates later.

Hey man, you have a good blog going. I got ya bookmarked.

I was wondering if you'd care to join our discussion on the Indians Opening Day weather at...

You seem to really know your stuff and your insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the comments/suggestions! I added a search box, hope it makes it easier to search for older posts. And I went to that forum on indians.com and posted in the opening day weather topic as 'Indiansrul'. Snow won't be an issue but rain very well could be. Look for some posts on that later this week as details become a little clearer...BTW Indians starting pitching looks to be superb again! And hopefully the bullpen will hold its own again this year...a little concerned about our run producing capeablity, we can out pitch Detroit but can we outhit them? It's all up to Pronk in my opinion...but we'll see in a couple months if that is true or not!
