Just wanted to stop by to update on that other storm I mentioned, I believe it was 2 blogs ago. Well as of now, models are continuing to indicate a very interesting few days starting tomorrow night (Monday Night). The most significant portion of the storm does not hit until Tuesday - Wednesday, when we could see significant snow, sleet, freezing rain, or even plain rain. Right now it looks like everyone will be getting in on all the mentioned precipitation types. Its too difficult to pinpoint what precipitation is going to fall where. As the event draws nearer it will become more clear though. By tomorrow night, we should be able to see much better, as to whether we will be seeing widespread snow/ sleet, or sleet/ freezing rain, or just rain.
Right now, what I am very worried about is an ice storm. Things are falling in place for the setup of an ice storm. But as I said as further model runs come in, we will be able to tell better. Either way you look at it, models are indicating total liquid precipitation amounts in the 1 - 2.5 inch range. Whether this falls as frozen precipitation, or plain liquid precipitation remains the biggest and most worrisome question. If this falls in plain liquid form, then we could see significant flooding. At this point stay tuned to this blog and your local weather outlet for up-to-date information on this developing storm system.
Below is a map of what I feel will be the dominant type of precipitation for the storm...
