Winter Storm Update: Warnings Coming and Snow Totals Call
Now….Winter Storm Watches are still in effect for the same areas, but we have been told to expect warnings to go out later today as the storm nears along with some Winter Weather Advisories north of the warning for the expectation of 1-2″ snowfall totals. We have finally thrown together a map this morning of what we are thinking…and keep in mind this is subject to change but given a little northward shift in things….I believe the totals along and south of the I-20 corridor have the potential to be higher than anyone else is forecasting at this point.
The HPC is maintaining it’s probabilities for 4″+ snow accumulation south of the I-20 corridor as well and I believe they are pretty much in line with my thinking. Here is the new HPC 10% snow probabilities map.
Keep in mind…we are still some 12-24 hours away from this snow event and things are subject to change rapidly. What we do know…is that it looks like everyone will be getting some snowfall out of this system. It is harder to pinpoint exact accumulations with these kind of systems given our active southern subtropical jet. As we have said in previous discussions….if the northern and southern stream phase more than forecast…we could be in for a more massive winter storm.
Stay tuned for later updates…
