SATURDAY FORECAST UPDATE

I wanted to do an early update, but the new GFS, Canadian and European models aren’t yet out.

Snow starts between 10AM -12 noon.  (Some models have some snow showers earlier, some start later.)

Whatever is falling ends about 7-9 PM Saturday evening.

The short range models have continued their trend of a quicker changeover to sleet with less snow/sleet accumulation. The latest NAM snow/sleet depth forecast captures this:

Last night’s GFS, CMC and ECMWF had somewhat increased their sleet/snow accumulations totals, keeping colder temps longer in the event.  They are in line with the NBM forecast from last night.

I’ll update early afternoon and again this evening.
