Possible Storm Update...

The first model, the NAM, has completed its run. It is short range only going to 84 hours which is 7 AM Monday morning. It shows a nice move west for the storm and would clearly hit Indiana with several inches of snow across our area.

Edit to Add at 11:30: I didn't think I needed another blog entry for the GFS model run. It seems there are some hideous discrepancies in the run. The upper air charts and the surface charts don't even match up with any meteorology logic. That happens sometimes when the models has so much data/energy it just spits out garbage. No point in staying up later for the finish or more refined data.

Some light snow accumulations possible after 4 AM with the passing with the cold front.

FYI - Confidence very high in a 2 hour delay for area schools for Friday.
