Ghiorse: “Son of Juno” Storm Update
Sunday, February 01, 2015
There is no rest for the weather-weary as we head into February. What had started out as a rather quiet winter has turned into a full-blown Arctic riot that shows little sign of letting up in the near future.
Today should be an easy day weather-wise as most of us prepare for what we hope will be another Patriots Super Bowl victory. But if you stay too long celebrating at the party, you might run into the first flakes around midnight or just after. A weak storm center in the Midwest this morning will intensify and .make a beeline for the Mid-Atlantic coast by morning. Snow will become heavy at times early, so the morning commute may be a non-starter along with yet another snow day for the kids. The storm should continue through the day and wind down Monday night.
Snow totals will be affected by a couple of factors. First, we are NOT looking at the 1-2 foot accumulation that we experienced in Juno since this storm will move right along and will not linger. Also, there is some indication that there may be a mix or change to sleet and rain during the middle of the storm especially from the Providence area on south and east toward the coast. The center of the storm may come fairly close to us and just skirt our south coast. The northern extent of that mix line is impossible to pin down at this time. I will have to track it as the storm progresses. That said, I am still looking for 6"-12", in general across the area ... a fairly thick layer of frosting on the cake that Juno baked last week.
