About the presidency, Harry Truman famously said “the buck stops here.” Trump is trying to pass the buck and blame everybody but his administration for the DC plane crash. This is a time for consoling the families and investigating the cause of this tragedy, not shameful finger pointing.

Another event to keep an eye on is the expected winter storm developing for the Gulf states. I will mainly focus on the Houston area. Forecast models over night continue to support a snow event. It still appears that areas south of I-10 would experience a rain/snow/freezing rain mix.

The white streaks seen in these three images are from last nights snow squall. These images are from the GOES-East satellite. The first is a true color composite, the second is a “natural” color composite with a snow/ice enhancement, the third is day cloud phase to help distinguish cloud types.

Hard freeze likely for the southeast next week. Here in Chicagoland we continue to track a possible winter storm. According to NWS Chicago, the likelihood of impactful snow appear to be decreasing, but the chances for rain and snow remain. Temperatures continue to drop this week into the weekend.

Winter weather forecasting is always interesting. For sure temperatures are expected to drop after mid week. But snowfall, that still remains in question.
