Its been a while since I have posted, I have been fairly busy, but here I am posting again. This time though, something else other then snow to talk about. We are going to be looking at some strong winds between a low pressure system out in the mid-west, and a high pressure system over the atlantic. The pressure gradient will tighten between these two systems bringing strong warm southerly winds to the region, (temps will rise into the low 60's!!!) as a cold front approaches from the west, it will bring some showers, and possibly thunderstorms Tuesday evening. As this front moves across the region it will help bring even stronger winds in the upper layers of the atmosphere, down to the surface. This will bring strong to potentially damaging winds to the region.
Of another concern, is with the strong warm southerly flow, and rain, snow will melt significantly adding to local rivers, which could cause some flooding concerns, especially to the rivers with ice still on them. The sharp rises could cause ice to break up and jam up, resulting in ice jam flooding. Below is a map of the potential wind gusts. Stay tunned to my blog, and your local media, and weather outlets for further updates on this situation...
