Our Next Snow Is Monday Night Thru Tuesday

We are on track for another snow. The precipitation starts as rain late Monday into the evening and transitions into snow after midnight. Tuesday will be all snow. The main track of the snow is north but we will still see 3-5 inches. This will be a heavy wet snow so no wild accumulations.

The transitions also looks to be minimal so wither we see snow or we see rain. Sleet or freezing rain does not look probable. This system as 2 concerns with the first being warm temperatures. Should it be just slightly warmer, we might not get much if any snow.

The second concern would be a shift in the track. Nothing seems to indicate a shift north but a shift south seems more likely. A 50 to 100 mile shift would increase our totals to 6 or 8 inches.

Tonight’s model runs will be the first really good sampling of the system after it has passed over the Rockies. We can then get a good idea of the strength and some better idea on the track.

As soon as I see anything coming from the NWS for our area, I will get it posted. I suspect some form of advisory or watch will be issued in the next 6 hours.
