Alan’s Weather Blog – 01/19/12

High temperatures Wednesday reached the low 40s, as expected.

And today, temperatures will be in the upper 30s to around 40 with some sunshine and arriving afternoon clouds.  That will set the stage for, at least, the chance of some passing snow showers possible overnight tonight.  A coating of light snow or a dusting is possible with most lows in the 30s, but  a few 20s tonight in the coldest spots.

Some sunshine returns Friday with highs around 35 to 40.  Now, we have some issues with later Friday night and Saturday with a storm system passing by to our south.  It should have just enough cold air for it to start as snow just about everywhere late Friday night.  But I think that any snow Saturday should change a to wintry mix and then rain in parts of the state.

It'll certainly go to rain south of 195, and to at least a mix between the Route 1 corridor and Route 78.  North of 78 it could be all snow, and there could be a few inches of snow before it ends.

Sunday, we'll have partly to mostly cloudy skies with some spotty light rain or snow possible with temperatures from 35 to 45.
