Arctic air is well intrenched throughout the area and will strengthen as we head into tomorrow. The main storm track will stay to our south through the first part of the weekend. An upper level low will dive into the Pacific NW and what happens from here is up in the air. Models are trying to converge on a similar solution and here is what it looks like….
Main system will anchor itself out west and send one piece of energy into the area on Sunday/Sunday night. This is expected to spark off some light snow. Then, the main upper low is expected to eject out on or around Tuesday. This would give us a better shot for accumulating snow. A major polar vortex will be situated just to our north and question is will this briefly dive down behind the departing low on Tuesday?? Models are not projecting it but it would not surprise me before the flow turns a bit more zonal.
It has been my pleasure to write this blog and be a part of the action 3 weather team. However, my career has offered me something new and exciting and with the way the TV business is right now, I have accepted a job outside of the business. I will still be staying in town and will chime in from time to time. Keep up the good dialogue and Craig quit harassing everyone (im kidding) My last day will be the 13th of December and will write my final blog that weekend. Thanks again everyone for participating and im sure CT will pick up where I leave off. Peace!!
