Can someone tell me a update ?

Looks super lame for sea level. 0-5 cm with a high possibility of the 0.

Dont back out now Bono!!

I'm #teamsnow all the way, Hawkman.

[Slytyguy]

Im getting out my official meter measuring stick this evening!

[Bonovox]

Yeah. Nice little band of wraparound moisture around that low. Looks cooler too, so that's promising.

Doesn't amount to a lot, but it is something.

[Bonovox]

The RGEM is still looking decent.

[John]

Wp is MIA

Wp is MIA

It's a little early for him. He usually appears closer to 1030ish.

[Bonovox]

The HRDPS is interesting.

[Storm]

Wp is MIA

Come on now. Like every pro he is waiting for the Euro to come first.

[Bonovox]

I wonder how many times the Fishman will pull the rug tonight.

[Hound]

It's a little early for him. He usually appears closer to 1030ish.

Ya that's what I was going to say. I think that's 11:30 his time. Maybe he gets off then or coffee break?

I'll just do the WeatherPro report

Good evening weather enthusiasts. We are on the verge on the snowiest week in history. I hope you all have stocked up on food and have generators...

It all starts on Saturday night where we could see 5 to 25cm. Potentially blizzard conditions out in the Valley. Low pressure could hang around till Monday and bring up to 50cm. Another snowstorm comes for Tues dropping another 15cm. It looks snowy towards the end of the week too! Stay tuned...

Polar Vortex In Action!



This swirling image of the polar vortex was made possible by data from several different polar-orbiting satellites between Dec. 3, 2020 and Jan. 16, 2021. The imagery was created using the information from the ATOVS data processing system aboard the NOAA-19 satellite, along with Europe’s MetOP-1 and -2 satellites, which host a NOAA instrument called the High Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS).

Visualizations like this help climate scientists at NOAA and elsewhere see the movement and fluctuations in the polar vortex that has been affecting weather patterns in the Northern Hemisphere this winter.

Just what is the polar vortex we hear so much about? It is an area of low pressure—or swirling cold air—that centers around the North and South Poles, higher up in a region of the atmosphere called the stratosphere--the same region that hosts the Earth’s ozone layer. During winter, the polar vortex at the North Pole expands, sending cold air southward. This happens fairly regularly and is often associated with outbreaks of cold temperatures in the United States.
