Meteorologist Mark’s Severe Wx Concern
Threats
Accumulating snowfall is looking likely for Monday night across the plateau. At this time, accumulations of around one inch seem reasonable. If moisture moves out a little quicker, we’ll see closer to one-half inch. If moisture lingers longer, we could see up to a couple of inches. Again, snowfall of around one inch seems like the most reasonable expectation at this time. I’ll keep you posted
