Snow Isn't Done Quite Yet

Sometimes you have to wait for a huge system like the one we're getting through right now to pass before computer models start to comprehend the upcoming systems a little better. That might be what's happened here.

On Sunday I posted that the systems that will work from west to east later this week will be mainly rain makers due to warmer air nudging in from the south. While I'm not 100% sold on this colder solution, almost all models are leaning toward some snow Thursday night in to Friday morning. This is just one, the GFS, early Friday morning:
I don't think this turns out to be a major snow maker for us, maybe an inch by sunrise. But considering the timing, this could be a little bit of a headache for the Friday morning commute and schools.

There's another chance a storm system could clip us Saturday night, but models aren't handling that one very well yet.

I'll update Thursday with a closer look at the first system, and hopefully a better idea of what we have heading in to this weekend.

  2. So glad you didn't quit just because WU has dumbed down their platform across the board since it got sold! Jason43130 : )
