2/18/12 Slight rain/snow today. Major storm miss..

Something is happening with the weather... that is what you should know at this point! Yes this sounds vague, but a more active weather pattern appears to be shaping up as we head into March.  The first indication of this is seen on this mornings satellite image.  A large storm is developing over Texas and will bring severe weather and quite heavy rains to many Gulf coast states and even NC and SC. For parts of the mountains of VA and NC, up to 10" of snow could fall.  Also on this satellite image, a large storm over British Columbia and Washington will slowly track across the country and will influence our weather come Thursday into the weekend. It is yet to be seen if this low will split and then merge again along the coast next weekend. Yes, signs to a more active period.  As I look ahead into March with some of the models, they indicate that a more active storm track will take hold. Which could mean rains, snows along with some sun.



 

As for New England and Boston, sunshine will give way to an approaching weak area of low pressure now over the Great Lakes. 
Most of the light precipitation will fall as rain. There will likely be 2 batches of rain, the first arriving through Boston around 3 PM and the next arriving later after 7 PM.


As the evening goes on, and the air cools, some snow may mix in and fall across the area. In most places it will not stick, but in the higher elevations and in Southern NE (RI, CT) where the precipitation will be last to leave, 1/2 inch of snow may accumulate.
