Saturday Snow

Yes, there has been some hinting of snow for Saturday. A nice clipper system will bring with it a chance for 1-3 inches of snow from Friday night into Sunday. The forecast models show a strong gradient with the snow totals and minor shifts could make large differences in our totals.

The good news is this storm doesn't look to have issues we have seen with the recent storms. Ice is not expected to be a problem. (Well, maybe it will be given the afternoon model runs and soundings.)

A more detailed forecast should be ready later tonight after the evening model runs. Those runs will include the first full sampling of upper air data for this storm.

FYI - The cold still looks like a very real possibility for next week.
