So let's see how this compared to the final call forecast map:

And here's a look back at my first call map:

So overall I think I did a decent enough job with this storm. So let's look ahead to the next five days:

Monday: Mostly sunny, Low of 10, High of 38.

Tuesday: Chance of snow or wintry mix, otherwise M. Cloudy. Low of 27, High of 40.

Wednesday: Mostly Sunny with a Low of 25, High of 42.

Thursday: Mostly Sunny with a low of 27, High of 43

Friday: Chance of rain and or snow showers. Low of 30 High of 36 .

And now all I turns towards the end of next week and next weekend, for the possibility of another southern storm... does this one bring us snow, rain, or the stuff we don't like to talk about? Well it depends on which model you ask.

GFS:

Canadian:

Euro:
All of them want to start the event as rain on Friday, but there are some differences in how it ends. We will talk about that tomorrow, until then take care.
