All is quiet on the weather front......

THE PLAYERS WERE ON THE FIELD BUT JUST WON'T BE GETTING TOGETHER SO THAT MEANS A STORM-FREE WEEKEND FOR THE EAST.
MEANWHILE...THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST HAS BEEN BATTERED WITH ONE OF THE BIGGEST STORMS THIS SEASON...PORTLAND OREGON RECEIVING 9" OF SNOW WITH NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS. NORMALLY..THEY GET LIKE 3" FOR THE ENTIRE SEASON. THAT STORM  MAY MAKE IT TO THE EAST LATE NEXT WEEK. THE STORM THAT I WAS WORRIED ABOUT WILL BE IN TWO PARTS: ONE GOING OFF THE
CAROLINAS SATURDAY....OTHER ACROSS NEW ENGLAND SUNDAY. 

THE LACK OF ANY COLOR ENHANCEMENT INDICATES THE LOW ENERGY...ACROSS THE NATION. THE "PINEAPPLLE EXPRESS" IS STREAMING MOISTURE FROM HAWAII TO WEST COAST....SO MUCH NEEDED RAIN WILL FALL THERE THIS WEEKEND. ELSEWHERE ...
NOTHING MAJOR.  BELOW...YOU WILL FIND THE CURRENT WEATHER MAP....WHICH SHOWS MORE CLOUDS THAN PRECIP. NATIONWIDE.

BELOW...MAP SHOWING HOW WEATHER SYSTEMS WILL REMAIN WEAK AND SEPARATE THIS WEEKEND.  COLD WEATHER FOR THE EASTERN HALF OF THE NATION THRU EARLY NEXT WEEK. BACK ON THIS DAY IN 1978....THE GREAT BLIZZARD FOR THE NORTHEAST WAS JUST WINDING DOWN AFTER DROPPING 1-3 FT OF SNOW AND HURRICANE FORCE WINDS. WE PREDICTED THAT STORM OVER 1 WEEK IN ADVANCE AND THAT WAS BACK IN 1978. I WORKED ON THAT STORM WITH THE FORMER DR. BOB HARRIS OF WOR RADIO...AND
CRAIG ALLEN..OF WCBS RADIO.....AMONG MANY OTHERS THAT WERE IN THE WEATHER CENTER AT THAT TIME. THANK GOD THERE ARE NO
VISIONS OF SUCH IN THE NEAR FUTURE. HAVE A NICE WEEKEND.
