NEXT ONE IS HERE

7am Update: VERDICT IS IN
We've taken a look at the latest model runs Tuesday night and have decided to go with an accumulating snow for our area. The colder air tends to squeeze out any available precipitation and we'll be in the teens for most of this event. That's why we are seeing an "opening act" (snow showers overnight and during the morning rush) before the main event comes in on Wednesday around lunch.

There will be a sharp cut off to the accumulating snow however. Just 2 counties south of the river will see very little in accumulation. Any shift to the north with this storm will bring lesser amounts to the tri-state. That's our fine print!!!

10am-4pm Steady Snow (1"-2" Along River, 1" south)
4pm-7am Scattered snow showers (<1")


TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS
This is our best crack at snowfall accumulations through Wednesday evening.






THE POLAR PUSH
For all of you Sam Kinison fans..."Grab you kids...Grab your 'stuff' ", we'll make one trip...We'll take you to where the warm is...because it won't be here.

We are watching late week for a "Ridiculous Cold" outbreak around Mid and late week. Below zero readings are possible. We are watching 1 more arctic storm that will lay down a blanket of snow before ushering in arctic air. When the ground is not exposed that arctic air can not warm which is why we expect below 0 temperatures late next week. We'll have more as we get closer to the event
