John Ghiorse: Potential For a Major Storm This Weekend
Tuesday, January 19, 2016
All the build-up for this storm is based solely on data from our mathematical models. Since we are talking about the weekend, Saturday in particular, there is no tangible weather system yet on the map that we can investigate, track, etc. Most of the models are predicting a major storm that will affect the East Coast but they all vary on the future track, intensity, extent of snow and rain ... in short all of the details necessary to make a forecast that will be useful for us in our daily lives.
So, given that, all I really can say is that there is the potential for a major storm that could range anywhere from lots of snow, wind, etc. to a close call or total miss. In which case let's all settle down, watch developments over the next day or two and start to draw some conclusions when we get some real data that we can sink our teeth into. More tomorrow.
