NICE FOR NOW
Written by: Bob Metcalfe"For now" is the big key in the title. A little dose of high pressure scoots by our south Sunday, leaving us with a better opportunity for a little sunshine during the day. Clouds will still have plenty of representation in the sky however, and the temperatures will remain somewhat cool.
Monday is "interesting" so to speak. A very non-descript, weak area of low pressure careens over us, which could be just enough to spark off a few light snow showers across western New York. Nothing major would come of this, but a few areas could actually see a dusting of snow Monday afternoon/evening.
The aformentioned storm in the previous blog post next week is now becoming something to focus on. Recent data suggesting a MUCH more favorable path that would bring impactful (English?) amounts of precipitation to the area. Track will be a big player in the timing/amount/type of precipitation. We could see anywhere from rain to a rain/snow mix, with lake effect snow and colder air pushing in behind the storm. Oh, and we can't forget about the whipping winds that will likely tag along for the ride.
I'll post a few thoughts on this storm in tomorrow's post.
It looks like another disappointment for snow lovers in Rochester for the next storm. The track is going to be to our West (As usual). More of a boring rain event for us once again. The GFs has temps surging into the 40'son Wednesday. Colder air will come in, but will the winds be NW to give us lake effect. I doubt it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm really tired of Rochester getting shafted out of snow so often so far this winter season. When will our bad luck end? Will we even crack 20 inches of snow this winter, the way things are going? People to the north, south, east, west are enjoying snow, but we have nothing but bare ground here. Next storm is a washout too with rain. Mets, please give us some hope!!!
ReplyDeleteRochester gets shafted every winter. The storms are always to our West or to our South and East.
ReplyDeleteIf it was not for the lake our average snowfall would be about 20-30 inches per year. The lake does nickle and dime us all year though. A few inches here and there. We will never get big lake efect events like Buffalo or Syracuse. We are always spectators. Isaid we would get 14 inches this Decemeber, but I think we will be lucky to see 10. Boring, boring, boring!!!!!!
Even if the cold pattern continues, looks like we see LES targeting BUF and SYR. When a storm does come up, it will either be too far East (yesterday) or too far West (Wednesday). I hate this winter season so far. Let's skip to Spring, please.
ReplyDeleteI think the storm is going a little more east. Might start out as rain, switch to snow in the eveing, and get some lake enhanment and lake effect wed night and thursday.
