Cold Air Aloft Brings Severe Weather and Snow


A busy day today as very cool air moves in place, causing severe storms today and snow tonight. What is causing this unsettled weather is a series of short waves that will be rotating through the NE/GLs. Today these shortwaves will cause showers/storms to fire, and with VERY cold air aloft will cause any showers/storms to bring the threat of hail/high winds. Late tonight, as a shortwave comes through the lower Great Lakes, it will be cold enough that some of the light precip caused by that shortwave could be in the form of snow. Any accums would be very light.

PS: Sorry about not being able to post much the last couple days, but I should now be back to a more regular posting schedule.

PSS: A showers that only showed up as about 35DBZ on radar just gave me a few minutes of pea sized hail here just outside of Cleveland.
