A few words about my forecast and then my first...

Welcome to the first official post of Tony's Weather Blog. Here, I will try to regularly update you on the weather and how it will affect us here in the Concord area. A few notes about my forecasts: they are like any other forecasts. They may not always be 100% correct. Also, for anything beyond the next 24 hours, I use other available forecast and try to synthesize one collective, hopefully more accurate one. Shortly I will give you links to the sites that I use. Now for the forecast:

Mid-January thaws are not all that rare around here. As much as I love snow and cold, there just isn't going to be any around here in the next few days. If you look at the charts on my Weather underground page, you will notice that the barometric pressure has been dropping steadily since a high of 30.39inHg at 10:00 this morning. That usually means that a storm is moving in. OK. For now, that's what I can tell you. I can also say that with the West wind, no significantly colder air will be moving in. So if a storm does arrive, it will be bringing rain.

Now I turn to other sources. Sure enough, some rain is forecast to move in for Wednesday night and early Thursday morning. It will be in and out in a snap - no biggie. Thursday will see clouds giving way to sun with highs in the low 40s. Friday cold be really warm - nearing 50 degrees - before another possible rainstorm arrives Saturday. Behind this storm could lie some colder air. Stay tuned, and enjoy the warmth (if you're into that...)
