AFTER THE 24TH IS REALLY TRICKY. THIS COULD JUST BE THE SYSTEM THAT BRINGS WINTER IN TO STAY......

Thurs 25th - SNOW and Windy - HERE COMES THE COLD!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The big rainstorm that is coming northeast now will have some lake snows on the back side of it, and central Plains folks will be dealing with some snow with a second system that cuts through the Plains later tomorrow and tomorrow night but weakens east Thursday and Friday, so that all that if left are some flurries in the Appalachians. In the meantime, another shot of near-record or record warmth comes out into the Plains and Midwest in front of the cold shot. However, this time the reversal is liable to be roller coaster like with temps in the Plains 20 above normal Sunday and 20 below normal by Tuesday or Wednesday. In a way, it's a preview of the kind of wild clashes we may be seeing this winter.

People get ready. The train is coming.

Ciao for now.
