Normally I’d be a little concerned about a big, warm, moist storm pushing into an area of cold air on our doorstep…but we look to catch a break. A big winter storm has formed over Texas and is heading northeast. The picture above is from the latest North American model and shows just how close that storm will be on Saturday. With the position of that High just off the east coast I’d normally expect some of that moisture to be pushed north into Ontario but that High to the northwest gives us a break.
As you can see from this second pic, that High to the north will keep that nasty storm to the south and it’s a good thing to because this storm will be a big snow maker. If you’re planning on flying through the northeastern U.S. expect delays as folks there will be digging out. Luckily, we’ll be sitting pretty under a big, cold, stable air mass and Sunday is looking great for PolarFest. Whew...that was close.
