Today&Future Forecast Summary

Allright, the weather is getting damn interesting. We are heading into an active pattern over the next 7 days. Cold air has returned, and overall, it will stay cold (normal) for 7 days, the exception possibly Saturday.

A low pressure formed off the Delaware coast late last night and brought most of the Mount Holly forecast area some light snow and flurries early this morning. The farther east you travelled, the heavier and longer the snow fell. I'm not sure on the totals, but they're likely to be a couple locations with an inch or 2 of slushy snow (grassy areas only). This storm travelled parallel to the coast and dumped snow across Ct, Ri, Ma, s Vt, s/e Nh, and most of Me. Some locations will end up with 8-12 inches of snow. This was NOT a hyped storm by the NWS. In fact, they didn't issue advisories in Massacusetts until the snow started falling (cover their asses). The only meteor that got this storm on the money was Larry Cosgrove. He's been damn accurate over the past couple weeks as to when the cold air would arrive, how the Midwest would get dumped with snow earlier in the week, and this mini low that became a moderate Nor Easter of sorts moving up the Northeast coast. Larry is now pulling more for a double barreled weekend event coming up. The first event will have a low develop in the south central states and intesify along the gulf coast. It will then make the turn up the Appalachians, far enough west to give the coast plain eastward RAIN. There will be a strong southern subtropical jet that'll scour out any cold air leftover from the current cold insurgence. After then low moves up into Canada, it is expecting to draw down a high pressure underneath it that'll HOPEFULLY set up shop in Maine. This is the perfect setup for NorEasters. A good deal of energy from the first storm will be left behind in Texas and the Miss/Louisiana coast. This may allow a low to develop and track farther east along the coast. That would give the I-95 cities SNOW/ICE!!! Hell, it's still several days away. However, since Larry has been so great recently, I'm leaning towards his interpretation of the models rather than some of the other meteos out there such as JB and WeatherRisk. The NWS has even mentioned this Sunday second storm in their 3-4 pm afternoon discussions. LETS HOPE FOR SNOW DAMNIT. NO WORK ON MONDAY SNOW SNOW SNOW SNOW SNOW!!!

After that low moves by either along the coast or elsewhere, another piece of the Polar airmass in Canada will swing down into the Northern plains and then the northeast next week, similar to the one affecting everyone right now. It appears, currently, that next weeks cold won't get as far south into Florida as this one will tonight and tommorrow night. ok...enogh for now...8^)...Ev
