Summary: After yesterday’s storm our weather will be quiet for the next few days as the jet stream wave pattern flattens out and a sprawling surface high pressure system continues to build into and over the central and eastern U.S.. A weak disturbance in the jet stream flow will rotate through the region on Sunday. As a result, clouds will increase during the afternoon on Saturday and Saturday night and snow showers or some off and on light snow become likely after midnight on Saturday and during the day Sunday. It appears that any accumulations will be light, from a dusting to 2″ at most. The long-range models are now consistently indicating another coastal storm may bring us significant precipitation next Wednesday night and Thursday. The projected track of the storm suggests snow or snow changing to mixed frozen precipitation. However, it is too early to draw any conclusions.
