Winter Weather Update 11 AM

Latest NAM data just became available.  QPF values nearly the same, with the heaviest precip falling during the afternoon hours.   Morning hours: 0.20 inches  afternoon: 0.47, evening 0.06 water equivalent.

The trend is towards lower temperatures at the critical heights of 3000 and 6000 feet.   Temperatures at these levels remain right at or below freezing and do not rise later.  Temperatures in the upper atmosphere, as reflected by the 500 mb thickness level is marginal for snow, but still supports wet snow.

So maybe we do get that 4 or 5 inches on grassy surfaces just outside of the city.   Roadways significantly less.
