By tomorrow night, the freezing rain will have tapered to flurries and the precipitation may let up for a few hours. By midnight Tuesday, however, snow will be moving in from the southwest, and over the next six to eight hours, the snow will increase in intensity. By noon on Tuesday, very heavy snow will be falling over much of the metro, and will continue through the afternoon and evening hours. It will begin to lighten up around midnight Wednesday, and should have ended for most of us by Wednesday morning. Blowing snow is possibly all day Wednesday, creating high drifts.
Here is my snowfall forecast for this week's storm:
Expect BLIZZARD CONDITIONS for most of the day Tuesday as winds will be sustained between twenty and thirty-five miles per hour, with gusts close to fifty miles per hour, leading to white-out travel conditions that may, essentially, bring travel and communication to a halt over much of the central United States before this storm moves off to the northeast.
Because of the probability of blizzard conditions, the local NWS office will consider upgrading the Winter Storm Warning to a Blizzard Warning sometime later tonight or tomorrow. Remember, a WINTER STORM WARNING means a variety of precipitation is possible, including sleet, freezing rain, and snow.
Please stay tuned to the latest forecasts, be careful traveling tomorrow as roads will be slick, and try your hardest to change any travel and work plans you may have for Tuesday morning into Wednesday morning in preparation for this massive winter storms.

ReplyDeleteI use a variety of sources; the same sources that professionals use when making their forecasts, including the GFS and NAM models, real time surface observations, Doppler radar data, historical information, some European models, etc...
