Winter Storm Update: Latest NWS Info and Snow Totals

As we move into now casting on this storm. Here are some of the latest details we have. 

Snow will begin to move into the area over the next few hours. We expect to see a minor lull in the overnight hours from about 3am-7am. Total snowfall amounts will be between 2-5” from this timeframe. Tomorrow the snow is really going to get going between 7-10am until about 10-11pm and areas will see snowfall rates of over 1”+ an hour at times. Try to avoid any travel on Monday during the storm.

Tuesday morning the snow will taper off than it is possible Tuesday afternoon a few additional snow showers are possible. We are advising everyone to stay off the roads tomorrow during the storm. One thing to note is that while this is now a nowcasting event. We are watching hour by hour the progress as well as any changes to the forecast. In the event the warmer air moves into the mid level there is a chance of mixing and dry air reducing  total accumulation. While at this point not certain it will happen but the possibility is there and we don’t want to rule it out.
