A Winter Storm Watch is in effect beginning late Thursday evening and running through late Friday afternoon.
The bipolar temperatures look to peak around 50 on Thursday and bottoming out at 30 before climbing into the upper 30’s by late day Friday. While there appears to be a 100% chance of precipitation, the 4” – 6” speculated to fall early Friday look to favor the mid to upper Cape area.
That said, in meteorology terms, we are still 2 dog years away from the actual “event” which means there remains an outside chance of record breaking high temperatures. Aside from reacting to an issued watch, I understand a number of you are making the trek this way this weekend so for now, this watch leans more towards a heads up.
As a lifelong resident of the outer Cape I was the third generation to pick up the mantel in the family construction business. In my early twenties, I called the Cape my home on weekends as I spent several years working for a variety of off-Cape commercial construction companies. My site supervision resume includes two supermarkets, two HUD projects, a funeral home and a handful of steel industrial buildings as well as various restaurant and office remodels.
