Interesting Weather Day Ahead

Friday should be an interesting day for our area in terms of the weather. The forecasters are predicting a rare phenomenon to occur called a NORLUN trough, which is not exactly a snowstorm, but can bring a prolonged period of very heavy snow to a very narrow area. And, of course, NYC is in the bulls-eye of where they expect this trough to set up tomorrow afternoon. It is extremely hard for the meteorologists to forecast exactly where a weather phenomenon of this nature occurs, however, so they have issued a winter storm watch for the entire area. It's the type of situation where one part of our area can get a dusting to an inch of snow, while another gets over a foot. It should be very interesting to see if their forecast plays out.
