2/19/10: Forecast - Monday rain... Snow later in the week?

The models have come in to fairly good agreement on the Monday storm system. Precipitation should overspread the state late Sunday night, possibly starting as a wintry mix, especially west of I-95. Any areas of mix will transition to all rain and last through the day Monday and Monday night. It looks like 0.50 to 0.75 inches of rain will fall before ending late Monday night, possibly as a period of snow.

After that system moves out, there is the possibility of another storm for the Thursday-Friday timeframe. With fresh cold air in place thanks to the departing Monday storm, this storm would most likely be a snowstorm. This is definitely something to watch, but there is little consensus amongst the models as to the strength of this storm.
