SNOWY WEEKEND AHEAD

The snow forecast will not be a bust this weekend and almost every weekend activity beyond hot chocolate in front of a warm fireplace will be affected. Snow will move into the area around noon on Saturday and bring 2" by evening. after a short break, the heavier snow will begin to fall overnight wrapping up early Sunday afternoon. Final snow total amounts will be 6-8" or more. Many models are showing a 10-12" potential for our area. However the belief if the thunderstorms in the south will rob some of the tropical moisture needed for the higher amounts.

While the snow will be enough to hamper travel plans and activities, an extra whammy from Mother Nature will be in the form of wind. Strong gusty winds 15-20 MPH will cause considerable blowing and drifting making driving nearly impossible.

Kokomo-Weather will be online providing updates as the storm passes through the area. I would welcome any photos and observations anyone would provide. Please email scankokomo@sbcglobal.net with that information. Also listen to ScanKokomo for live police and fire action for Howard and Tipton Counties.
