Some very different weather across the country. Stormy in the West along with temps well below average. In the East, however it is quiet with above average temps. But, looking at the long range models, that could very well change. It appears that next week we could see some stormy weather.
Even though long range forecasts are hard and mostly inaccurate, we still go on making them and tweaking them. This next episode of long range forecasting includes unsettled conditions with periodic cold fronts swinging through however laking in sufficient moisture.

As we continue to track storms in the more distant future, there is still the short term to talk about. This weekend will feature partly cloudy skies with seasonable temps.
As the days pass the forecasted storms can come more into focus. This means that we can forecast them more accurately. It looks like a few showers for friday and a light snow sunday into monday of next week.
As we head into the weekend, it looks quiet and cool with temps topping out in the 40s with lows in the 20s. As we turn our attention to a potential storm late-week.
Still a tricky forecast for Thursday when a costal low moves by. With a cold front still back to our west, the coast can expect heavy rain and more inland areas can expect more snow.
Another active streak ahead of us. There are 3 parts in this streak. 1 the rain winds down as a stalled front weakens as it moves to the east. As this system moves out, part 2 moves in. Part 2 includes a coastal storm moving swiftly offshore. This will bring slight accumulations along the coast and a few inches just inland. Part 3 includes a weak cold front moving through with a few flurries.
