Hey Folks,

As I mentioned on Here & Now last night, I'm watching a brewing system coming out of the Rockies in the U.S. This one system will actually split into 2 different Low's... both of which could end up hitting us with Rain...Wind and no doubt some Snow mixing in as well. Lucky us!

Ok, first things first.... the Friday system.

-Even this morning the American GFS model has jumped on board with the idea that this thing probably won't hit us full on. So there's pretty good agreement now that this thing will cut to the South of Newfoundland. The question is how far South?
-The Canadian model is taking it far enough South that we wouldn't be seeing much of anything... just a few showers maybe a flurry or two.
-The American model is really hugging the South Coast with the track. It's also showing a stronger system, which would pull more cooler air and no doubt mix more Snow in with the Rain.

-A few hundred kilometres will make a huge difference in the forecast with this one... so stay tuned.

SUNDAY SYSTEM

The second piece of energy from our U.S. Rockies system will brew up into a much larger and stronger system. It will roll into the Great Lakes on Friday night/Saturday... into the Maritimes on Saturday night/Sunday and then into Newfoundland and Labrador for Sunday and into Monday.

-There are still a few different ideas on this "could be storm"... including of course, how strong this system will be.
-In fact, the Canadian model is jumping on a very interesting idea this morning. It's showing a Coastal Storm developing along the front of the original system, as it hits the Coast of New England. Of course the Coastal Storm then follows the original front North into Newfoundland. That of course would make things a bit more interesting... and wet and windy.

I'll keep ya posted.
