Is the Third Time a Charm?

For the third weekend in row we are facing yet another weather event with a possibility of accumulating snow. 

This one will be moving eastward across the plains states to the Mid-Atlantic Coast Saturday evening but the storm may not head completely out to sea at that point. 

The cold, dry artic air that shunted snow to the east over much of the I-95 Northeast this past weekend is still present. However, it does not look to be as strong and could allow accumulating snow to run up the coast late in the Christmas weekend and  many computer models have been consistently turning the storm northward Saturday night and Sunday.

If the storm is able to turn north and run up the coast the question then becomes, how close to the coast will the storm track?  The closer it tracks to our coast the more significant accumulation we can expect.

As of now, there is a real possibility of a white Christmas for our area this weekend!
