1/17 Snow event update

A quick update on the snow potential this Wednesday. The timing of the event is now focused on Wednesday morning through lunch time. About 4-6 hours of moderate snow with perhaps a short burst of heavy snow is possible. If this happens then expect 2-4 inches of snow for most of the triangle. However, there are some mitigating factors that could impact accumulation. First, the precip could fall as rain or a rain snow/mix for a good chunk of the beginning of the end. If true then expect more like an inch or less. Also, it's possible that models are currently overdoing the amount of precip as upper level events typically do not perform well east of the mountains.

My first forecast is for a dusting to 4 inches of snow possible for the triangle with areas on the west and north side of the triangle more likely to get more than an inch. I'll try to narrow down that forecast as it gets a little closer.
