Tracking Two Storms!

Today is cold, at least compared to the last two days. We’re starting out in the upper teens and low 20s, but only have highs in the upper 20s and low 30s this afternoon. Clouds clear throughout the morning as well, leaving us with afternoon sunshine.

Overnight, we’re back into the teens, and clouds increase. Tomorrow morning, the first of two storms we’re tracking arrives.

We’ll start with snow showers mid-morning, but the intensity of those snow showers will increase into the early afternoon. Then in the afternoon, we see a changeover to a wintry mix (which could include both sleet and light amounts of freezing rain), and plain old rain for some along the coast.

The overarching theme of this storm is what I’m calling “winter mush”. Even our snowfall will be wet, and when followed up by the wintry mix, will appear slushy for many rather than like a winter wonderland. That said, between that slush and a tiny bit of freezing rain, we could absolutely have some slick spots on the roads. Be extra cautious if you have to get behind the wheel on Thursday!

Friday will be in the upper 30s and low 40s, and while the sun will come back around, it’ll be quite breezy as well. We’ll start Saturday with sunshine too, and it’ll be less windy. Highs will be in the upper 30s. However, clouds increase throughout the day, and our second storm arrives late Saturday night. There’s a lot about this storm that’s still up in the air, but right now it looks like it’ll also bring us snow, followed by a wintry mix. We’ll have more details throughout the week!
