This relentless winter continues its grip through this week, and will persist on into next week with more bitter cold and wintry precipitation. Snow this morning will give way to sunshine this afternoon, but it will remain cold with highs below the freezing mark. The cold temperatures will stick through the weekend with some snow flurries possible tomorrow afternoon. The sunshine will return on Friday, but it will be deceiving as it will be bitterly cold with high temperatures struggling to reach the lower 20s.
The next big storm that I will be monitoring will be on Monday, as a storm system will traverse the country and move into the dense arctic air mass in place over the Northeast. The storm will be riding on the southern branch of the jet stream and will bring much needed moisture to the state of California which has been enduring severe drought conditions, however though it will bring some drought relief this system will likely bring the threat of flash flooding and mudslides for Californians.
As this system pushes east, it will produce a slew of dangerous weather on its track ranging from severe thunder storms over the southern states to wintry precipitation over the Midwest and on into New England. As it stands, there is a potential for a significant snow accumulation for our area on Monday March 3rd. We are still several days away from this and better information will be available to fine tune this forecast.
