Storm Update!

Quick summary... -evening communte will be ok (snowing, but roads ok) -Friday morning commute will be tough with snow-covered roads -Total accumulations in Twin Cities metro 3-6" -nice weekend with temps in 40's Sat, maybe 50 Sunday -Next week looks nice with some 60 degree days mid/late week (maybe even our first 70!) So, hand in there...this is just a quick hitter and the snow will melt fast! Weather models have certainly not come together to give forecasters any degree of confidence for any forecast. This is why you have probably been frustrated to see forecasts ranging from 3" to 12" of snow. It's not Meteorologists playing "mind games" with you, it is the fact that we rely on weather models and when those models show differing solutions, you get different forecasts because of the uncertainty. Here is how I think things will shake out with the storm... -precip cranks up around noon (I expect mainly rain or rain/snow/sleet mix) -rain turns to snow this evening (I think evening commute is ok considering mild temps) -snow tonight and tomorrow (morning commute bad, snow-covered roads) -best estimate is 3-6" for the Twin Cities metro There still is the possibility of a heavy snow band that could bring higher snowfall totals to the metro. Just think...next week we will see 50's and 60's!!!! Have a great day!
