Friday February 28th 2014 Cape Ann Weather…

Marine Forecast ….
Gale Warning through early morning hours…. Then Small Craft Advisory takes over…
Fri: W winds 15 to 20 kt with gusts up to 35 knots .Diminishing to 10 to 15 kt with gusts up to 20 kt in the afternoon. Seas 2 to 4 ft.

Fri Night: W winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas around 2 ft.

Ok to be honest with you this cold weather is driving me nuts! But it is what it is . And will get through it! So looking ahead to today sun / clouds can’t rule out a snow shower or flurry cold temps once again highs generally in the low to mid 20’s with a gusty west wind 15-20 mph .. Windchill values will feel like it’s the single digits … Friday night yup u guessed it FRIGID again lows around 10 above with a light and diminishing wind..
Saturday clouds / sun a tad warmer 30-35 degrees with a south wind 10-15 mph and gusts to 25mph possible .
Saturday night Increasing clouds late possible snow showers after midnight lows Around 26-30 degrees … Sunday overcast chance of light snow showers 35 degrees …
Sunday night / Monday watching potential storm ….

Now to Sunday night / Monday …A stationary front will be just off the south coast of New England . Waves of low pressure will ride along the front just south of us , keeping us in the cold potentially snowy side of things . A few models want to give us 2-6″ of snow .. It’s still to early to determine the exact impacts will experience Sunday Night / Monday .. There is still strong signaling that the storm could be even more suppressed to our south missing storm completely . So I’ll have a lot to iron out over the next 36-48 hrs .. Stay tuned . Regarding the snow , it will still stay rather cold through all of next week with a slight moderation in temps possible next Saturday . But by then we may be looking at another wintry bout with Mother Nature .. So we can’t win here or even catch a break ! Have a great Friday everyone .. And Happy TGIF to all of U… 🙂 thanks for reading …
