Another Winter Storm Possible For The Region Sunday Into Monday; JRWeather Alerts In Effect

Local Update...
   More Snow Likely For Much Of The Region; JRWeather Winter Storm Watch In Effect From 12AM Sunday Until 12AM Monday...

JRWeather WINTER STORM WATCH
     JRWeather has issued a Winter Storm Watch For All Of Vermont, And All Of Northern New York From 12AM Sunday Until 12AM Monday.

     A low pressure system moving near the St. Lawrence Valley by Saturday is expected to redevelop over Southern New England, then Track Northeast and into Maine by Monday. This will result in the potential of significant snow for the entire region.

     Snow will develop late Saturday night, and continue into early Monday Morning. The snow could be heavy at times especially during the evening Sunday. Total snow accumulations by Monday Morning have the potential to exceed 9 inches across much of the region, especially the northern portions of Vermont, and Northeastern New York.

     There continues to remain some uncertainty as to where the heaviest snow will set up. So a Winter Storm Watch has been issued. If future model runs remain consistent then a Winter Storm Warning or Winter Weather Advisory may be issued later Tonight or Tomorrow.

     A Winter storm watch is issued when there is a strong potential for severe winter weather, but not yet imminent. In this case the Winter Storm Watch has been issued for the potential of significant amounts of snow. Stay tuned for further updates.


DISCUSSION
     Another significant storm system may effect the region, mainly Sunday into Monday. But snow may start as early as Saturday night. Models are having some difficulty in forecasting where the heaviest snow will be. The NAM is indicating the heaviest snow would be across Eastern, and Northeastern Vermont, while the GFS model is indicating the heaviest snow would be across much of Vermont, especially the Northern portions. I will have more on this potential storm later tonight.
