We had mostly cloudy skies this morning and cloud this afternoon. Light snow late this afternoon which gave us a trace of accumulation.Temperature is to rise overnight giving us a high tomorrow in the mid single digits. Should be a good day to go get the tree and put up some outdoor lights. On a side note the tall ship Picton Castle, based out of Lunenburg, lost a crew member who was washed overboard last night when hit by a rogue wave off the US seaboard in rough weather.

Update on Monday storm

ATLANTIC PROVINCES STORM MOVG INTO ATLC EARLY IN PD AND NEXT SYSTEM DEPENING OFF CAPE COD.. MDL HAD A GOOD HANDLE ON THAT FIRST SYSTEM AND IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE AS SHOWN BY LATEST 06H QPF VERIF VLD 18Z. COLD AIR INVADING THE GULF OF ST LAWRENCE LIKELY TO GIVE SNOWSQUALLS OVR PRONED AREAS. WRF-NAM IS AN OUTLIER WITH NEXT SYSTEM DEVELOPING OFF ERN SEABORD BEING TOO SLOW. POSITION WISE GEM REG, GLB AND ECMWF ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH LOW S OF CAPE COD BY 48H. UKMET IS A BIT FARTHER EAST. GEM REG IS THE MOST INTENSE WITH THAT SYSTEM WITH LOW AT 1001MB BY 48H. GLB AT 1005 MB AND GFS NAM AND ECMWF AT 1008 MB ARE WEAKER. THERE ARE POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT WITH NEGATIVELY TILTED UPR TROF AND CAA BUT GEM REG COULD BE IN THE DEEP SIDE WRT INTENSITY. DIONYSOS SHOWING A LOT OF LATENTE HEAT RELEASE BY END OF PD WITH THAT SYSTEM AND GEM REG COULB BE A CARRY AWAY WITH DEVELOPMENT. WILL GO MORE WITH CONSENSUS AROUND 1005-1008 MB ATM. POSITIONWISE THO GEM REG LOOKS REASONABLE. STAY TUNED FOR TONIGHT FCST.

Weekend System update

At 12z the models were showing the low to be in or near the Bay of Fundy Saturday morning, giving NB snow and freezing rain as the temperature falls.

A look at the models from 12z today for Tuesday 00z.

The GFS GEM GLB and the EURO all show the system off NS to be out to sea a good distance. They will have to bring system closer to sure for us to get a storm out of this.

Accuweather.com take on storm.

Something To WatchUpdated: Thursday, November 30, 2006 4:03 PM
The major storm currently over the Central states is getting most of our attention right now, but here is something to watch for. The cold front trailing the storm will stall along the Southeast coast this weekend where a second storm will begin to take shape Sunday night. The path it will take on Monday is very uncertain so, instead of an exact track, we have shown a window of movement. If this disturbance comes up the coast, it will snow in New England. A track more toward the east will result in little or nothing. More on this event will follow.
