We know there is a lot of discussion starting about the potential for winter weather next week. It's simply too soon to talk about any specifics. There are two scenarios we will be watching for. Regardless of the winter weather threat, it will turn very cold for early next week! pic.twitter.com/KGbFbhygRu

For what it's worth (not much!), most models today have trended much drier with no snow or ice for the local area next week. Could it snow? Yes. But don't get your hopes up yet. No reliable consistency in the data to support REALISTIC chances of snow/ice.

Models are FICKLE and change at the drop of a hat. I choose not to post every, single model run for data that is 1+ week out. The data changes SO much.
People are screaming, "SNOW
," yet there is a very real chance we simply see cold and dry conditions next week.

We're continuing to keep an eye on whether or not we'll get any wintry precipitation next week. It's certainly going to be cold enough, but what isn't certain is whether or not there will be any precipitation. It will depend on whether a low pressure area develops in the Gulf. pic.twitter.com/zAfHChQUag

The most unusually cold air in the Northern Hemisphere will descend into the United States from this weekend into next week.

RAIN & A FEW STORMS POSSIBLE SATURDAY… Rain becomes likely on Saturday ahead of an advancing cold front. Isolated thunderstorms will be possible, specifically in areas near the coast, but the overall severe weather risk will probably remain quite limited due to the lack of surface instability across much of the area.
