.SHORT TERM...
Through Tuesday afternoon.
Only minor changes were made to the snow amounts and changeover
timing for Tuesday morning. Rain is still expected to change to
snow beginning as early as midnight in the Northwest. The band of
precipitation and changeover zone will move southeastward through
the morning, and forecast soundings indicate the potential for
bursts of heavy snow as the changeover occurs. Models have come
into better agreement and are honing in on a corridor of
accumulations in alignment with our forecasts over the past couple
of days. A Winter Storm Warning has been issued across the
northern part of our area where impacts are expected to be
greatest. This is where temperatures are most likely to drop into
the mid to upper 20s near the back edge of the snow band,
resulting in potentially dangerous travel conditions. In the
warning area, snowfall amounts may average around 2 inches with
locally higher amounts possible.
Within the Winter Weather Advisory area, temperatures may only
fall into the 30-34F range, and snowfall totals are likely to
remain below 2 inches. However, a quick burst of heavy snowfall is
possible anywhere in the advisory area which could lead to
difficult travel conditions. Some of the advisory area could be
upgraded to a warning if confidence increases in colder
temperatures and/or higher snowfall amounts.
