Weatherdogs Storm Update

Good Wednesday morning Doing It Local fans!  Sorry for our absents as of late but we have not forgotten about you!  So did you hear about a potential storm on the way??? For those of you that follow us on Facebook know we are monitoring this storm very closely!  So what do we know as of this morning??

The weather models currently are working their magic to give us a outcome that will satisfy everyone. Some show a moderate snow storm for us while other models say wait a minute not so fast.

Our feeling as of this morning is we will see snow here in CT. How much is yet to be determined. The time frame is still up in the air as well but we feel a early Saturday morning start and lasts into Sunday morning.

For our coastal friends we need you to heed this warning…. with the full moon in place and a large storm off the coast throwing wind at us there will be coastal flooding and beach erosion. If you live in an area that floods or if you are near an area that comes close to flooding your property the time to prepare is now. Bring what ever might be under water to higher grounds. We could easily see high tide 4-6 feet higher than normal depending on the storm track.

We are closely watching the data as it comes in. We will do our best to update on here as often as we can. For more up to date info please follow us on Facebook at Valley Shore Weatherdogs or on twitter at ctweatherdogs.  Have a great day!

First Winter Storm on our door steps..how bad will it get??

Good Monday afternoon everyone…. ok lets get into our first real winter threat of the season. If we were in February we would be laughing at this storm right now but because it is the first potential threat we are all excited and worried!!

Its not looking too bad… yes it will be slick come morning and yes extreme northern parts of the state may see a inch or so of snow but trust us this will all turn to rain by mid to late morning.
The colder air to our North did not move down as far south as models were showing us late last week. Ok its cold out today but can we really complain??? It warms back up a bit come mid week!

Ok so the timing… if you realllllllly want to see some snow you might have to be up around midnight tonight. That is when some flakes might start to fly. We feel everyone should see some form of snow to start with and yes the ground will be some what cold enough where it wont melt on contact. For the Southern half of the state any snow will quickly change over to a snow/sleet and freezing rain combo before it turns to all rain by early morning. Even though it will turn to rain there will be slick spots on the roadways.
Northern CT… lets say north of Hartford the snow sticks around a bit longer… maybe a coating to a inch or so if we see some heavy pockets. North of Hartford will gradually see the change to that mix and then to all rain. If you are looking for big snow head up to Northern Maine for this storm where they will see some much welcoming snow for the ski resorts!

That’s it for now…  follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/valleyshoreweatherdogs for more quick updates as the storm draws closer.

Have a great afternoon and be safe!
