3K and FV3 show 1-3 for tomorrow. Cut back some.

My family has already called me alarmist for next weekend, so I’m trying to temper my expectations. Looks like it could be a multi-day event with double digit payoff. Can’t be upset about that, but can’t get too excited yet for we all have been too hyped this far out before.

Not bad

I’m going to need a front end loader for the drive if this is correct

I’ll take it

That's the funniest model run I have ever seen. Lol

Pretty amazing run there from last night, but it's the GFS' unserious interpretation at 200+ hours.  If you show that under 48 hours with support, I'll get interested.

The long-term model depictions keep wanting to inflate the southern stream moisture involvement.  Thus far through winter we haven't really seen that, so it's hard to trust.

We'll have some rain transition to snow tonight with lingering bands, then another chance on Friday & Saturday for snow showers as an upper-level low passes overhead.

Looking at the short term models, the favored areas for possibly more than an inch through tomorrow are North Hills thru Butler Co, someone could see 2 or maybe 3 inches. Snow should start mixing in around 8pm west to east.

Here’s what the NWS is forecasting. 1-2” mostly, but 2-5” along & north of I-80. They do highlight that area as having the potential to see as much as 6-8” in spots due to lake bands. They also suggest the possibility of a band in the west with up to 3-5 inches possible should that occur.
