- Accumulating snow Tuesday night-Wednesday
- Late week winter storm threat south
- Active pattern continues next weekend
Bitterly Cold With Developing Snow Tuesday Night…It’s a bright, but frigid start to the day with mostly sunny skies in place. Temperatures are below zero for many this morning and ‘chills have dipped to as low as 20 below. If you have to be out today, layer up and limit time outdoors.
Clouds will quickly be on the increase Tuesday afternoon and snow will develop Tuesday night, continuing into Wednesday morning. Model data suggests snow may come down at a good clip at times early Wednesday morning. The initial snowfall map (below) places our best idea on accumulation for now. As we always say, this should be used as guidance at this distance and we’ll have to fine tune as we move forward.
The consensus of nearly all model data shifts our late week winter storm further south overnight. It’s too early to write this storm off, but we’ll trend our forecast drier in the Thursday-Friday time frame for now (that blocking high to our north can, at times, be a blessing and a curse ;-)). Another chance of snow rumbles in late in the weekend.
