The key with this event is the timing, as snow is falling during morning rush hour. By the time this post is up, morning rush hour will not be far from beginning. So, I urge you to take your time when driving and allow for extra travel time in going to work, school, etc… Because of potential snowfall totals, the National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Warning from 2AM to 6PM for today.

Snow accumulations look to total between 2” and 4” with isolated accumulations of 5” and 6” across the state. Highs for today will be in the mid 30’s and lows in the mid 20’s.


Thursday – Mostly Cloudy/Rain & Sleet likely – High 35˚ / Thursday Night – Rain/Sleet – Low 33˚

The beginning of Thursday should be dry which comes as a nice relief from yesterday’s snow. This little “break” won’t last long, however, as another system looks to move into the region Thursday afternoon into Friday morning. This low pressure system will bring moisture and precipitation into the region, starting in the afternoon and continuing into the overnight hours.

The low pressure system has advected a lot of moisture into the region, allowing quite a bit of precipitation to fall. The trickiest part of this forecast, though, is the placement of the center of low pressure. Depending on the location of this low, the type of precipitation we get will vary. Based on model consensus right now, it looks like we will see more of a wintry mix then some snow later in the day.
