When I said there was "nothing hinky coming," I suppose I spoke too soon.
Although we're in for a bit of snow on Saturday, it's not a major storm.
Here's what I think (as of Thursday 2/15, noonish):
It's going to get progressively cloudier throughout the day today, but really mild - high near 60. Expect rain after about 7 or 8pm, continuing overnight into Friday morning. Since the temperatures will stay in the mid 50s (even overnight), we're not at all concerned with freezing action with this.
On Friday we'll see the temperature drop throughout the day: 50s during the morning commute, 40s in the afternoon (with increasing winds), 30s in the evening (with diminishing winds), 20s overnight.
Happy 93rd birthday on February 17th to one of my favorite actors, Hal Holbrook. He is best-known for his critically acclaimed one-man stage show portraying Mark Twain - and, of course, his pivotal role as background informant "Deep Throat" in the film All the President's Men.Saturday starts out clear and sunny, but clouds up toward mid-afternoon as a fast-moving front approaches. Expect snow (wet, and maybe mixed with some rain at the start) by 4 or 5pm. The bulk of the snow should be from about 7pm Saturday to about 2am Sunday.
Accumulation: 2-3 inches of wet snow at most. Some slippery spots, but the relatively warm ground temperatures recently will help minimize this problem.
So the storm may impact your plans on Saturday evening and Sunday morning, but the bulk of the weekend remains viable for errands and outdoor merriment.
Sunday turns out sunny with a high in the mid 40s.
And then back up to the 60s by Tuesday and Wednesday! So any snowfall will be outta here quickly.
As this storm gets closer, its actual track/impacts/accumulation will become clearer, so stay tuned for updates!
