Tracking the Upcoming System

Follow all the action here!

First, how about those winds in the northeast U.S.? Here is a snapshot of Atlantic City wind gusts during the last 24 hours.

Atlantic City is just a sample of some locations dealing with a vigorous wind system rolling through. Reports of power outages and property damage quite common throughout the region.

Next, still tracking the temps:

 
And how are the models performing today? Any trends?
Let's see.
Here is the GFS 12z:

Compared to yesterday, the GFS paints a less wet solution compared to yesterday. Also, the model is still not favoring anything wintry, of significance, on the backside of this thing.

What about the GEM 12z?

 
As you can see, the GEM wants to paint a pretty heavy band of precip along and north of the Ohio River. We'll follow how this materializes as this could be a significant rain maker for some.

For you who follow the NAM religiously, it's also painting a wetter solution compared to yesterday.
NAM 12z says....

Therefore, my thoughts remain the same as yesterday. Looks like potential for some beneficial rainfall without the bru-ha-ha of a backside snow event. Maybe next time?
Remember, it could be a tease performance by old man winter this time around. But, a little later down the road, we could see the real thing.
Perhaps, ahead of the cold, there's a small chance for some severe weather in the region. Let's see how that plays out over the next several days.

All for now. Enjoy your Saturday.
