Watching what could give us some rain this weekend.

While it isn’t very likely… it’s still something we are all keeping a close eye on.   And if you’ve been watching the US Open already know about it.  It’s the low pressure system just off the coast of Delaware and New Jersey.  These systems normally move off to the north and east… (this common movement and the strong northeasterly winds at ground levelis actually why these kinds of systems are called Nor’easters!)

However in this case it looks as if the system is going to weaken and retrograde west… basically meaning that it may get close enough to the region to give us a chance for some rain on Saturday.

While computer models are starting to indicate that this will happen.  In my experience it may get close, even effect eastern Ohio.  But for it to get this far west of the mountains is a real task.  We’ll still have to watch it, and that’s why I put in a 10% chance for rain on Saturday… but I still don’t buy it just yet.
