Potential New Year's Eve Storm Update

Just for fun, thought I'd show a graphic of the latest on the New Year's Eve/Day storm. Models continue to show a monster coming into our area. Take a look at this.



You can visually see how strong the cold front it and you can also see the major low pressure centered near Chicago. Ahead of the front in the green you see 12C temps (about 54F) and right behind the front in the blue you see -4C (about 25F)! That's a sharp front! I would expect to see severe storms in a squall line with temps like this and I'd think snow showers would be most likely behind the front, with blizzard conditions to our north. This will definitely be one to watch closely in upcoming days.
