Big Storm Next Week?

Thursday 9 a.m.

Note: Although my videos have been appearing regularly in my blog, a change in filename meant they were not appearing where many of you were used to finding them. I believe that problem has been corrected.

The first video includes the discussion for Middle and North Atlantic states. Computer model maps show there is a wide range of potential outcomes from a storm that should form along or near the East Coast at midweek. The second video focuses on the Chicago area.

In the headline, I ask if there will be a big storm next week. To show you we are still in the speculating stage, here are maps for the same time next Thursday evening from the same computer model run six hours apart. In the first picture, we use the run from 7 p.m. yesterday. For the second, we use the run from 1 this morning. Different, aren't they?
