First Potential Snow - 2 Days Out

Ah, the early season storm excitement might have all been for nothing. For the past couple of days, the weather models have been pretty consistent on giving us little if any in the way of the white stuff here in Central Ohio. While this isn't an official forecast, the Euro gives us a pretty good idea of what Thursday afternoon might look like:

That might be the saddest excuse of a backside snow that I've ever seen. It's not even on the backside of a deepening low, or even a Ridge Runner. No, this is just a regular looking boundary with cold air forcing itself in and causing a brief changeover before the precip ends.

On top of the weakness of this scenario, the timing isn't great either. A few days ago this looked like it had potential to change overnight Thursday in to Friday. Instead the storm seems to speed up and snow could fall in the afternoon. It's still too early in the season for our environment to be cold enough to support an event like this for accumulating snow, so right now we're going to be down to tracking this for our first chance of a dusting. I think our 1"> snow chances are pretty low.

I'll give a forecast tomorrow, with a snow map if needed.
