Just A Few Notes

Well, with the pattern of below normal temperatures and above normal precipitation, the Ohio Valley should be due for several snowfall events in the next two weeks to come, I would imagine. There should be one day of mild weather this week. It should be Wednesday, with high temperatures likely reaching the 50s. But, again, it's a one-day affair. Next week, there could easily be two to four days of milder temperatures. I'm thinking next Tuesday to perhaps Thursday could be near the average for this time of year. But, it seems a reinforcing shot of arctic air should plummet well into the South by the following weekend. It appears the jet stream may become configured in such a way that there's a southwest-to-northeast storm track along the east coast. With above normal precipitation the forecast, could this be a set-up for Nor'easter-type storms? It's difficult to say right now exactly where the predominate storm track will take shape. I feel sorry for folks in Alaska, as below normal temperatures will be accompanied by a tight pressure gradient. That's right, it will be very windy as well. At least, those type of winds aren't expected in the lower 48, well, unless an intense Nor'easter-type storm forms somewhere in the vicinity of the east coast. I am not forecasting a Nor'easter, it's just a pattern that would be suitable for one. The sub-normal temperatures, as a result, shift westward. I feel quite confident that the Ohio Valley will see multiple chances for snowfall. There was some forecasted for today, but it was a bust. Okay, so we can't always get it right. I knew the Weather Channel was way overestimating the system by placing our area in a 1 to 3 inch category. We had two snow showers that weren't even persistent enough to dust the ground. Oh well. There will be many other opportunities for snow this month, so I won't hold a grudge. :o)
