Forecasters Discussion for 1/29/15- Clipper System

1/29/2015

Comments

 
Good afternoon from Southern Connecticut Weather!

Currently we have clouds building in from the west in association with a clipper system. This clipper system, as with most fast movers in a progressive patter, will serve as more of whitening of the snowpack and nuisance for early Friday morning travel. The system does not look to be here for very long, and possibly will be in and out before the mid morning hours. As of right now, the beginning of the morning commute does look to be snowy though, so please be careful if you need to travel especially between 5 and 9 am.

Right now with the cloudy skies, we have temperatures statewide hovering in the upper 20s and low 30s. These Temperatures don't look to budge much as the clouds will work as an insulator, but overnight temps look to be well below freezing and prime for snowy conditions. Snow should begin to move in statewide between 12 and 2 am, and continue through most of the morning with varying intensities. All said and done, we expect 2-4 inches to fall in the northern tier of the state, while 1-3 is expected to fall elsewhere except the far southeastern portion of the state where a general coating to 2 inches is expected. Our map has changed since yesterday, bringing the higher totals to the northern part of the state, with less falling in the southeastern portion of the state as current conditions and models have trended the disturbance north, as is quite common with clipper systems. Not expected to be major storm, but could throw a wrench into the morning commute.

After the clipper departs, an Arctic cold front will swing through the state leaving Connecticut in the ice box for much of the weekend. Temps on Friday night look to dip into the single digits toward 0. Temperatures for the day on Saturday do not look to make it much higher than the middle teens. Along with the cold temps, windy conditions will be prevalent across the state from Friday afternoon through Saturday, driving wind chills into the negative numbers, especially later Friday night through. The only caveat to all of this is conditions will be mostly clear during the coldest times, so no wintry precipitation to worry about, until possibly Sunday where we are closely watching the possibility of a potent coastal storm which looks to effect the latter half of the weekend through the early part of next work week. We will have more on this potential storm over the next few days, right now it is too early to speculate about storm track, accumulations and the like. Stay tuned for a future discussion on this disturbance.

Have a good rest of your afternoon and evening everyone! Stay tuned for all the latest from Southern Connecticut Weather!- Tim
