Good afternoon, folks. Our next big storm system is about to slam our part of the world with heavy rain, some thunder, high winds and the increasing potential of a light snowfall. That’s going to make for an interesting weekend for Thanksgiving travelers heading back home.<\/p>\n

Rounds of heavy rain develop this evening and continue through Saturday night. Some thunder and lightning may also join the fun. A general 1″-2″ of rain will be noted for many across the state, with locally higher amounts possible. This could even lead to local high water concerns.<\/p>\n

Here’s a check of the rain numbers from the models…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>They differ a bit on placement, but the general theme is the same.<\/p>\n

As we get into late Sunday, an upper level system dives in behind this and will bring rain and snow into the state. That will make the transition to wet snow Sunday night with snow showers continuing into Monday. Light accumulations are likely and I can see this being an Advisory type event.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>As we get closer, the GFS is finally seeing the light snowfall potential…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is a setup to where it can actually snow pretty hard at times Sunday night and early Monday. Throw in winds of 30mph or greater and we can get a nice look. BTW, those winds may reach 40mph at times Saturday night.<\/p>\n

I will have another update later this evening. I leave you with your friendly Friday radars…<\/p>\n
