Back to being a Weather Nerd. Snowstorm potential for late week?

 December 4th, 2011


I am not going to say much on this just yet. Just want everyone to be aware that their is a potential snowstorm on the horizon from late Wednesday night through Friday morning. Several models are picking up on this potential but with various solutions. The GFS model forecasts the storm further north with rain to start for most places but ending with a 2-4 hour window of heavy snow in the mountains above 3,500 ft. The European model shows the storm further south (but weaker) bringing the rain snow line down to about interstate 40. If the euro is correct the mountains and northern foothills north of I-40 would see several inches of snow. At this point it is hard to determine which model is correct but I am tending to side with the GFS (for now). Stay tuned...
