Snow Possibility Next Week:

After the blizzard that affected the area yesterday, another snowstorm could affect us early next week, and despite the model uncertainty, it is likely that this storm will not be a big snow producer. The models are currently showing an Alberta clipper dropping out of the Midwest, affecting that area through the Mid Atlantic with light snow. An Alberta clipper is typically moisture starved, so it does not produce big amounts of snow. Then, the Alberta clipper is forecast to move offshore, but what happens next is still unknown.

Once the Alberta clipper goes offshore, it could move up the coast. If it does, then intensification of the storm is possible, however it still does not appear to have much moisture involved, so big snow amounts like those from yesterday are not expected. While we have many details that have to be narrowed down, such as the track of the storm and its intensity, it could end up bringing at least moderate snow amounts to the area between Monday and Tuesday if the trends are supportive of that happening.
