Noon’ish Update

The nam and gfs midday runs are in and both point to a 1 – 3″ snow for the 95 corridor this afternoon and evening. Temperatures are at or above freezing in most areas other than the northern tier along the PA border, where they are a little colder. The models suggest precipitation moving in during the early afternoon between 2 and 3PM, however the radar is suggesting that things might get started a bit earlier. Once the precipitation begins, the temperature will fall as the lower levels near the surface saturate and any mixed precip will change to snow. The snow should continue well into the evening accompanied by cold and blustery conditions overnight and Saturday.

This still needs to monitored as some surprises are still possible.
