We have two very interesting weather events coming up next week despite a lot of the focus in some circles being about the ‘warm-up’. 1) We’ve a SNOWSTORM coming to the Northeast… warm-up right? and 2) more significant rain will effect a large swath of California.

Unfortunately this is a very brief write-up tonight. To be honest, I am a little beat as I’ve been on the road much of today and it’s now 1.15 on Saturday morning and I’m about to have dinner. Yes, dinner.

Anyway, here’s the latest ECMWF surface charts.

Here’s the 500mb height anomaly perspective. Notice all the above normal heights but trough in the east will keep it cold.

Also notice the explosive heights north of the EC system.

Latest snow chart through 168 hours. That’s an impressive amount of snow for the interior.

Now, between doing to video earlier and now, I am noticing something interesting. Check out the amount of rain the model takes all the way to Southern California by this time next week.

10 day QPF.

There’s a lot of snow to come for the mountains too over the next 10 days.

Be sure to check out the video.

More tomorrow.
