As we enjoy possibly our best weekend in the last 2 months we look ahead to not one, but possibly two snow chances for the early part of next week. The first of which will be here Monday afternoon. This one does not appear to be of any significance as it will only impact those along the South Coast. Snow accumulation map below.
Snow Fall Monday Afternoon
The follow up system during the day on Wednesday will be much more significant and will bring with it a lot more moisture than the Monday storm. As it stands now an original area of low pressure looks to track towards western Pennsylvania before a new low pressure center develops along Long Island. With a storm track such as this there is high probability that a rain/snow line will enter into the forecast, but a fine detail such as this will be determined in the coming days.
We are still a bit too far out to throw numbers on a map, but what I would like to do is show a map that puts the idea out for those locations that could see a plowable amount of snow.
Wednesday Snow Possibilities
Let me try to explain the categories:
Plowable Possible: These locations are most likely to see a flip over to a mix or plain rain. Even though this may occur snow will be the primary precipitation for a long enough time at the beginning of the storm that a plowable amount of snow is still possible.
Plowable Likely: Those that fall in this category will likely stay all snow and see enough precipitation that the plows will be out taking care of the roads.
Significantly More Possible: Regions that best combine the likelihood of staying all snow and receiving a lot of it. 8″+ is not out of the question.
Then after Wednesday we have another storm chance for the weekend/early next week. And even though this is still 7+ days away this one has the possibility to be the most significant of the three. But time will tell.
Stay tuned in the next couple days for a snow fall map for Wednesday.
