Great news for many holiday travelers next week. Recent model trends have continued to keep what looked like a potentially large Nor’Easter storm system to the east and away from the coast.
This should come as a relief for many people in the Mid-Atlantic and New England regions as a winter storm during one of the busiest holiday travel times of the year would have caused a myriad of problems.
Just a few short days ago there was reason to be concerned with the system setup and atmospheric conditions ahead of a major weather event. In recent model runs, however, specific features required to support a Nor’easter began to slowly fade.
Essentially due to a lack of cold air and pressure, this system will not be guided up the East Coast.
Model analysis is just that in the long-range: strictly an analysis of data. Providing long-range model discussion is important to understand weather implications as far out as possible since preparation is always key ahead of major weather events. However, meteorologists have good reason not to provide actual forecasts until roughly three days ahead of the event (and sometimes within just hours).
This time around the storm is for the fishes (out to sea). Snow lovers still have a long winter season to go, but for now we can all enjoy cool temps and mild weather conditions this Thanksgiving holiday.
