Strong Clipper close to a winter storm



Sunday Dec 28th 2009 5:30PM EDT-

A small Clipper will track into central Ontario and is expected to bring 5-10 cm of snow to a few areas. Snowfall warning is issued for these regions

A strong but fast moving Clipper will move in overnight into the last day of 2008. A swath of 5-15cm of snow is associated with this system. Due to the fast moving nature of Clippers, overall accumulations wont be topping major amounts, however, bursts of heavy snow is expected. Snowfall watch had been issued for 2/3 of Southern Ontario. It could be expanded and/or upgraded to Winter Storm watch as the even tracks closer.

Yes, here I introduce you to the newest map featured at my blog. The EC style warning maps will be used to better represent winter conditions for exact regions of Southern Ontario. Another Feature I would like to show you is the event alert bar to the left. When a weather even is in the forecast or is occuring in Southern Ontario, it will be shown on it.

Toronto and the rest of southern Ontario is expected to see a few cm of flurries tomorrow but the bulk of the small accumulations will stay up north. The snow may or may not stick to the ground but that should not be our worry as a much stronger system will move into our region.

Right now, the track had been pretty consistent with this. Areas in the watches should get close to 10 cm of snow from this. As the even tracks closer, things may change, but that is the thinking currently.

The winter storm possibility I've shown you yesterday did not look too good in the previous few models. The bulk of the moisture got tracked Further east. However, this storm still remains a possibility as I am still looking for consistency and the time range for the models.

I hope you enjoy the new features and I will see you tomorrow!
