Messy End of Week Storm

Don't expect to see the sun much this week. It may peek out this afternoon, but then the rest of the week will be cloudy with some form of precipitation each day Tuesday through Friday.

The Wednesday/Thursday situation is getting very interesting. The latest forecast is for a snow Wednesday night transitioning to sleet and freezing rain during the day on Thursday. The models are not in great agreement--unlike the last time we had a mixed precipitation event (December 17)--so this is less likely to cancel school on Thursday, but there still is a greater chance today than yesterday that the length of the school day will be shortened in some way.

This storm is also supposed to carry into Friday, when the precipitation will change back to snow. It will be light but possibly enough to gum up the works for the Friday morning commute.

Total potential snow accumulation through February 19th. Should it be accurate, this means we'll have at least one moderate to heavy snow event in the Feb. 3 to Feb. 19 window.

We're not talking about a blockbuster here for this prolonged storm, but at least the pattern appears to be shifting (see above) and giving us more storminess.
