Forecast Discussion

Low-pressure is organizing in the western Gulf Coast region while a cold high pressure system shifts into the Northeast on Wednesday. Overrunning moisture coming over the cold dome of high pressure that is now wedged alongside the Appalachians will generate rain this evening, mixed with sleet and snow before changing to all freezing rain overnight.

We get above freezing by late Wednesday afternoon changing freezing rain to rain. A semi-stationary frontal zone will be fixed in place for several days, keeping waves of rain going into the upcoming weekend.

When do we get out of this muck? The front should get a decent push on Sunday, so that we may be able to salvage at least the end of the weekend. It would also appear that we will get a big upward surge in temperatures if we clear out in time Sunday afternoon.
