First Potential Snow - 3 Days Out

It seems a little early in the season to be talking about it, but sure enough we have a chance for our first snow Thursday night.

The Setup:

A disturbance will drop down out of Canada and meet up with moisture from the Gulf around Oklahoma, setting up a true battle of cold and warm air, to determine if we get our first snow of the season.

As the storm moves across the country, high pressure and deep arctic air will settle to the north of the boundary. The strength and positioning of that cold airmass could ironically push the boundary far enough south to keep us out of the precip. Or, it could be shallow enough to allow warm air to win out and we get rain.

This, like so many boundary storms, will be all about location.

As we get closer, I'll be able to give you a better idea of what to expect as this storm bears down on us Thursday in to Friday. For now, keep your guards up for the potential for wintry weather.
