A very unsettled week with precipitation and wintry weather and water conditions will be a bit of a roller coaster as well. Monday will start with rain changing over to a mix then snow across the state with vary amounts of accumulation from around 1 inch to 6+ inches. Winter Storm Warning and Winter Weather Advisories have been issued for areas and travel conditions will be hazardous tomorrow. This precipitation will start early in the morning with the heaviest snow between 9 AM and 3 PM or so, tapering off into the overnight. Tuesday looks to be clear before more precipitation moves in Tuesday Night, which will be a variety of wintry precipitation depending on temperature profiles and location. This will last through Wednesday before clearing out for most by Wednesday Night. This system has the ability to drop snow or worse freezing rain. Thursday will be clear again through Friday before more precipitation moves in Friday Night. This will likely be snow or a variety of rain to snow. This system will be the fore runner of the weekend system. Temperatures will vary from 30’s to 40’s down to 20’s and 30’s with lows in the single digits to 30’s. This is the reason for such high uncertainty between rain, mix or snow. Water conditions will vary by location and day, however overall, they will be good for most of the week. Monday will have some gusty winds and elevated seas prompting Small Craft Advisories across southern and offshore waters. Again on Wednesday winds will be gusty with building seas and Cautious Conditions and Small Craft Advisories for all waters. Surf and beach conditions will echo water conditions with gusty winds, rougher and elevated surf Monday and Wednesday. The rest of the week looks good. Water temperatures are steady or a few degrees warmer, however many rivers and bays are still mostly ice. Ice jam flooding is possible this week. UV Index will vary from Low to Moderate at 0-3/15.
A low pressure system will lift northeast off the Mid-Atlantic Coast just south of the region on Monday, bringing the first round of wintry precipitation this week. High pressure will follow on Monday Night and Tuesday before another low pressure system from the Tennessee River Valley brings a wintry mix to the region Tuesday Night and Wednesday. More high pressure is expected Thursday and Friday before one more low move into the region on Saturday.
The weekend will bring yet again, another system…possibly the strongest system this week. This could bring anything from rain to snow and will most likely clear out by Sunday. This is really up in the air right now and I will keep updated as needed!
Have a great week and be safe!
