Brief Overview

12:45PM Monday

Interesting storm shaping up for Wednesday/Thursday.

A storm will trek from the Ohio River Valley and through the Northeast. This will bring precipitation to our region from Wednesday AM through Thursday AM. The main question is, "how much precipitation will be frozen, and how much will be liquid?"

Right now, it looks like we may see at least some period of snow early Wednesday morning, likely transition to either rain or a mix by late morning. Whatever is falling during the afternoon, should transition back to snow Wednesday evening, and persist into the overnight hours.

As far as accumulations… it really depends on those transition timings. A warmer scenario would favor a change over to all rain for at least several hours between the late morning and evening. This scenario would probably produce 1 to 4 inches of snow, mainly Wednesday night. A colder scenario with a later transition to sleet/mix instead of plain rain could produce 3 to 7 inches.

So, obviously the range of impacts is still pretty high.
The National Weather Service seems to favor a colder scenario, but the latest forecast model runs seemed to trend a little warmer. The forecast below is a bit of a blend. My instinct is to favor a warmer scenario.
