Regarding our earlier message about a possible major winter storm which will develop and could affect our area, but could move to the east, it now appears the storm will move well to our east.
The only significant effect of this large east coast storm will be to draw down another surge of cold air after a weekend warm-up. All is not lost,however. It looks like a significant warm-up toward late week or next weekend.
The weather pattern is looking quite stormy as we head into February, but with warmer air over the next couple weeks. Please remember that an active pattern, even a warm one, could still produce snow in winter. Any heavy rain event could threaten flooding with nearly 2 inches of water in the snowpack currently.
There are no big storms currently indicated in the coming week with the exception of the early week storm.
