FIRST LOOK: Saturday Snow "Event"

Yeah, I got snarky with the title and put "event" in quotes. Why? Because at this point we're at the end of March and any snow storms have to be the perfect storm to bring us more than snowy grass and wet streets. And guess what? Saturday won't be that perfect storm.

This is a northern Plains low that'll eject from the Kansas area and take a pretty flat path toward Kentucky before diving south toward the Georgia coast. All the precip will be on the northern side, and it won't be all that wet considering it's not tapping the Gulf.

I already don't like this system, but go on...

It's going to bring daytime snow.

Ok, you can leave now.

That's all I need to hear. It's a clipper-like Plains low with diurnal precip. This thing won't do a bit of  real damage. Even if we got a direct hit from it, worst case scenario is another snowy lawn situation like we had Wednesday. BUT...

...it's a miss.

Yeah, there it goes, diving south of us. Any chance we had of even just getting a dusting on Saturday is slowly slipping south, down by the Ohio River.

If you have any interests in Cincinnati on Saturday afternoon, maybe it'll be a pretty winter-like scene down there, but even then I wouldn't worry about major road impacts.

We all know models can change, and we still have 48 hours for all major models to flop around again, but with nothing in the pipeline before this storm, I don't think we'll see much change. Even if it does move further north, I can see a dusting on the grass being the biggest impact.

I'll update tomorrow with a final forecast.
