Snow Forecast Update

The northern NWS office has pushed their Winter Storm Watch down to the southern most portion of their coverage area. This includes Cass and Miami counties. The weather models generally agree on a more southern track of the storm and almost all of them have come around over the course of the day.

Our local area will see either a Snow Advisory or a Winter Storm Watch very soon. While there have been a modest spread in snow totals, I think 4-6 inches would be a good call at this juncture. Blowing snow also looks likely with 20+ MPH winds on Wednesday. This could quite possibly be the multi-snow day event I have been looking for all season.

This will be a difficult week for the start of the Boys Basketball Sectionals. I can see many games being postponed this week. (Friday also still has a potential clipper system in the forecast bringing accumulating snow.)

Also given the relative short time between now and the snow system, advisories, watches, and warnings could come and be upgraded rather quickly. The front end of this does look to be a rain event before a very quick change over to snow.

(Oh, now would be the time to mob the grocery stores. *grin*)
