Watching for the potential of a nor-easter affecting our area from Monday night through Tuesday night, some computer models have the storm well offshore and not affecting our area while the European model shows the storm in our area, at this time it appears that most of the precipitation would fall as rain, however if the storm is stronger some cold air may be pulled into our area and we could have more snow, still plenty of time to watch how this situation develops.
