yet again there are 3 storms to watch. Two of which we have been watching for a while. one christmas eve night through christmas day. the other wednesday late afternoon through thursday. the first storm will likly give us up to 2 inches of snow across the Merrimack valley before some changing to a period of freezing drizzle or freezing rain.
the second storm will be much stronger but also warmer as it tracks right over the cape and islands. isntead of being a “bench mark storm” which keeps most of the precipitation if not all snow. we will not have this. as well as a lack of a cold high pressure system to the north. Thus is why i am thinking most inthe Merrimack valley will see a wintry mix to start out but by the early morning hours of thursday we will see plain rain.
temperatures are higher than previously expected thus is why these storms will not create as much wintry precipitation as previously thought. there is still time for this to change but its doughtful.
Another storm could effect us but it looks to far south as of right now
