another snow storm on saturday night?! (Boston: airports, weather, water)

[nicky1097]

What are the chances my flight will get out at 11am on Sunday morning???

Is this storm supposed to be worse then today's?!?

Haha.... Are you asking us to predict the future? Beside predicting weather, you are asking us to predict how the airline will respond? If I know, I would be able to predict when stock will go up or down.


Here's prediction from NOAA. (The agency that US army depended on... to predict weather so they know when to attack Iraq)

Saturday: A slight chance of snow after 3pm. Increasing clouds, with a high near 30. North wind between 9 and 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 10%.

Saturday Night: Periods of snow, mainly after 3am. Low around 25. East wind between 9 and 18 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%.

Sunday: Periods of snow before 9am, then periods of freezing rain possibly mixed with sleet between 9am and noon, then rain likely possibly mixed with sleet, mainly between noon and 3pm. The freezing rain and snow could be heavy at times. High near 36. Breezy. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New precipitation amounts between one and two inches possible.

believe its going to get worse especially the cold

I doubt very much your flight will get out on time even in good weather from boston but good luck

you also have to remember all the flights canceled today/tonight. The back-log at Logan will be bad....

depends on the airline, but I would say your chances are pretty slim.

no flights into Logan for Sunday? I am stuck in Orlando, so might enjoy! leave on Tuesday?

The next storm due in is a Nor'Easter. They are notoriously hard to forecast. Today's storm rolled in from the west and was more straightforward.

So, the weekend storm could be an all rain event, a rain/sleet/snow/ice event or even no event. It's coming from the south and it's over water, meaning anything can happen. Just stay in touch with your airline.

JUST A RUMOUR (or long range weather forecast which amounts to the same thing) 12-16 inches of snow starting Saturday night and finishing Sunday sometime. We fly to Boston Monday and were told to expect delays (from Europe).

This next storm will be mostly rain in southern New England-including the Boston area- northern New England far from the coast is likely to see mostly snow (ski country)

It's the tempurature and ice factor that will most likely determine how many flights get out of Logan. Your destination and/or pit stops will also affect it. Many flights are cancelled because of conditions in other airports. Nor'easters are particularly tempermental. So, basically, you won't know until you know.

I see more of an issue with the icing than the snow. And today will be sunny and above freezing, which will melt the snow. All well and good except temps are going to drop like a rock tonight and freeze everything solid. I have to get my son somewhere tomorrow by 7AM--I'm worried we'll be skating there!
