A Look Ahead

A few flurries will be possible Tuesday as a disturbance in the upper atmosphere passes the area. We then have a chance for some snow late Thursday into early Friday. There are many factors involved with this next storm, so I decided to break it down into two categories.

Pro snow...

1) Cold air in place - snow ratios will be high.
2) Cold ground will allow for quick accumulations

Against snow...

1) Storm track is looking farther and farther south
2) Limited moisture

Looking at the latest data, it appears like the last two factors will outweigh the first two. So the chances for an accumulating snow are looking less. Regardless, we will continue to watch this storm and keep you updated!
