Models seemed to have come to a solution-sending the storm to our west. Meaning a soaking rain during the day on Friday. Temps will soar well into the 40's during Friday afternoon, but as the storm passes winds will shift bringing colder air back into the area. That may allow the rain to switch to snow breifly before ending. Another weak storm is likely on Sunday and it will be a snow event-but it won't amount to much. Yet another rainstorm is possible early next week.
Alerts: A Winter Storm Watch is in effect for Northern New England, including here at PSU.

Do you think the rain will melt a lot of the snow? The piles are still ice-hard along the roads in Boston.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think a lot of the snow will melt tomorrow. There will be big puddles on roads, and there may be some basement flooding.
