Weather Forecast:
Part 1: Wedsesday snowstorm...
Part 2: Westport weather...
Part 1:
So it looks like for you in D.C., Baltimore, Philly, NYC, Hartford, and Boston this is not your storm... Same goes for New england... Now areas just to the North and East of Atlanta may be our target zone where someone could get 6 inches... SC and NC there could be a localized 6 inches but more likely 3-6 or 2-4 away from the coast... Southern Virginia may see 2-4, especially the further south you go, but most of you will see 1-3 inches... As for D.C. and Baltimore look for 1-2 inches with locally 3 inches toward the mountains and the southern side of town... for Philly, NYC and Hartford you will likely see a coating to 2 inches and if we can get the storm to turn slightly north or have a band of heavier moisture extend further north, we could potentially be talking about have up to 3 inches in the Philly, NYC, and hartford area... As for Providence and Boston it seems you will see the same coating to an inch but since you are closer to the coast you have a better chance og seeing up to 3 or 4 inches because the storm will be offshore. So watch for that... There is about a 10% chance now, which isn't a lot, that the storm turns up the coast and we get at least moderate snowfall(3-6 inches) in the big cities... But as of now it looks that will not happen but as always i will keep you updated...
Part 2:
Hello to everyone in Westport! As mentioned above, it seems that the storm that expected to hit wednesday will miss to some extent. My current forecast for snowfall in Westport is at least a coating on the ground, to the possibility of up to 2 inches of snow. There is about a 5% chance this storm completely misses and we end up with just some clouds and maybe a flurry. There is also about a 10% chance the storm comes up the coast and we end up with 3, 4, 5, maybe up to 6 inches of snow. Now at this point neither of those possibilities seem very likely yet i would advise you to keep them in mind... In terms of school closings, the way it looks now is that we may have a delay across the Westport School District... I would say a 50% chance delay... 40% chance of having nothing... and a 10% chance of having no school... The snow should at least taper down if not stop by around noon time wednesday, so i don't think a cancell would really make sense. The storm should start sometime later tomorrow... maybe as early as 6PM or as late as 12AM... Those details are not clear yet, but we should have at least a little accumulation by early wednesday making that morning commute quite slippery... That's why there may be a delay... The snow may mix with rain at times when it starts before quickly changing over to snow... The snow is NOT expected to be heavy... We may find a period of moderate snow, but most will be light... That's it for now... As always i promise to keep you updated...
