Good evening, weather weenies. I told ya I would drop by for a quick update and here I am in all my Saturday evening glory. \ud83d\ude42 The focus of the forecast is the same as it’s been for the past several days. A touch of winter weather early Sunday… Heavy rain and a few storms for Monday… And the potential to put snow on the ground later Wednesday and Thursday.<\/p>\n

Let’s talk about the brief period of freezing rain or wintry mix late tonight and early Sunday. With a frozen ground and temps tonight below freezing, it won’t take much to cause some travel issues across the northern half of the state.<\/p>\n

The models continue to see the light freezing rain…<\/p>\n

NAM<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

GFS<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Again, it won’t take much to cause some travel issues in this kind of setup.<\/p>\n

Rounds of heavy rain and some thunderstorms will then take control from late Sunday night through Monday night. A general 1″-3″ of rain will be noted…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The models continue to back up my forecast…<\/p>\n

The GFS continues to show the highest totals…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

NAM<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Gusty winds will also become a player and could top 40mph at times on Monday.<\/p>\n

The next system continues to look like a snow maker later Wednesday into Thursday…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

How much of a snow maker depends on the strength of that low, but the potential is there for a thumper. I will talk more about that with the full update later tonight.<\/p>\n

Here are your radars to follow the development of the action to our west…<\/p>\n
