After waiting anxiously for well over a month, snow lovers are gasping a sigh of relief as forecast models are finally depicting a better and improved winter weather pattern across much of the United States.
While I don't have too many details at this time, it appears that we will likely see progressively colder weather affect the area over the next two weeks. The first wave of colder weather will hit the area later this week, as highs struggle to make it above 30 degrees by the opening days of 2016. Fortunately [or unfortunately, depending upon your perspective], temperatures will once again moderate as upper-level ridging across Canada allows warmer air to filter into the region. There are, however, consistent long-range signals from forecast models and ongoing observations/trends that suggest a far more substantial pattern shift is ongoing. In fact, in the January 10-15th time period, we could finally see an active winter pattern across the East, with cold Arctic air and the potential for snow coming into the picture. I will have more updates on this possibility in the next few days.
