Weekend Storm Thoughts Let's talk about Today first...looks like the storm passing by this afternoon will be mostly a cold rain event for the big cities...there could be some freezing rain or sleet North of DC and in the mountains. This has turned into a bad snow & ice event in Central PA...be careful if you are traveling.

Now for the weekend....my over all thoughts on the big picture have not changed from the scenario written in yesterday's blog...please read below. However, there have been some interesting trends on the short range models in the last 24 hrs. The GFS, NAM and the SREF have all trended colder with the thermal profile of the atmosphere and have moved the secondary low development on Sunday Morning further South and East. What does this mean for us? It means that there could be more snow and ice as opposed to rain...if this new solution holds to be true. The piece of energy that will create the weekend storm is just now coming into the Pacific Northwest, so the models will get a better look at it on the runs later Today...stay tuned!
