Discussion

Snow melt continues to take place around here on a pretty favorable basis with generally a manageable amount each day. It’ll stay seasonably cold for the next few days, but noticeably milder conditions are coming for the period of Sunday through Wednesday. Meanwhile, a major storm will works its way across the country next week and it will have big implications all along the way. First, it will spread rain, snow and high winds into California and then blizzard conditions are likely by the middle of next week from the central US to the Great Lakes. Rain associated with this storm is likely to arrive here by Wednesday of next week and it could become a heavy rain event which may present a problem depending on how much snowpack remains. Later next week following the rain event, a widespread cold air outbreak will flood the eastern states with Arctic air.
