Weather Summary

The forecast remains quite complicated for Saturday night and Sunday. Marginal temps and uncertainties with moisture availability make for a challenging forecast. The chance for at least some snow accumulation (1″ or so) is about 50%, with a 20% for a significant snow (3+”). That leaves us with a 30% of getting absolutely nothing.

I should note that there are strong indications that we will be dealing with a severe weather threat next Thursday. I’ll monitor that closely.

Snow Potential

If the track of the low changes, this forecast will change.

If the low tracks closer to us, or strengthens more than expected, we would see higher snowfall totals.

Chance for Monday Snow Day

Stay tuned! It all depends on how close the storm system tracks to us!

Earthquake Map

The map at this link shows the earthquakes around the world in near real-time. Check it out and keep up with the Turkey/Syria earthquake. That quake and the series of aftershocks have created the deadliest earthquake in more than a decade across the world. Inclement weather has not helped. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/?currentFeatureId=us6000jlmv&extent=35.81336,34.53003&extent=38.3675,40.27588
