Grant County News: First Snowfall Projections For New Winter Storm: Up To Half-Foot Predicted In These Spots.

❄️ FIRST CALL FORECAST ❄️ Who's ready for our most impactful winter storm in nearly three years? Let's break down the forecast: TIMING - Friday noon - Saturday AM KEY POINTS - Storm track has trended slightly SE ^ More cold air, less moisture available - Moisture arrives from SW along I-85 - Most spots will see snow at first - Transitions begin by sunset Fri from SE to NW - Moisture exits NE by sunrise Sat MOUNTAINS (WHITE ZONE) - High confidence - All snow - NW flow snow possible thru Sat PM - 3-6" of snow thru Sat AM - Additional 1-3" possible thru Sat PM - Minor impacts, minimal outages I-40 (BLUE ZONE) - Medium-high confidence - Mainly snow - Dry air may eat into moisture overnight - Sleet/snow mix possible Sat AM - 2-4" of snow, most will see closer to 2" - Roads hazardous thru Sat noon - Minimal/no outages I-85 (HASHED ZONE) - Medium confidence - Begins as snow - Transition to sleet mix possible overnight - 1-3" of snow/sleet, most will see closer to 1-2" - Up to .1" of ice - Roads hazardous thru Sat noon - Few outages possible, especially SE of I-85 SOUTHEAST OF METRO (PINK ZONE) - Medium confidence - Begins as wet snow - Transition to sleet/frz-rain mix likely overnight - May end as all rain early Sat AM - Trace-2" snow/sleet, most will see <1" - Up to .25" of ice - Scattered outages possible FORECAST CHALLENGES/CAVEATS - Will surface temps remain below freezing overnight? - Where will transition lines set up? - Storm track usually trends NW late ^ Could lead to more ice/sleet, less snow S of I-40 - How much dry air will filter from N? ^ Could eat into snow totals along/N of I-40 - How early will clouds arrive Friday AM? ^ Will play big role in initial temperatures - Models pointing at band of heavier snow after sunset ^ Where will band set up? BOTTOMLINE Snow is always a headache to forecast for in the Carolinas, but we don't do this because it's easy. The southeasterly trend in storm track will keep the region of all/mainly snow larger, but will also allow for more dry air to filter in from the north. I don't think this southeasterly trend will be the final shift; from experience (and learning from getting forecasts terribly wrong), there typically is some slide back to the northwest with these I-85 riders. While the heaviest snow will remain northwest of the Metro, areas along I-85 and southeast will likely see the worst impacts due to the transitions to sleet and freezing rain overnight. It also looks like surface temperatures will remain at-or-below freezing for most of us along I-85 and to the north; snow, sleet, and ice will almost certainly stick on untreated roads and elevated/grassy surfaces. Under 48 hours to go! Stay weather-wise and feel free to ask questions in the comments.

DeSoto County News: Storms depart and cold arrives; Winter storm possible Friday.

A significant winter storm remains on track to impact Indiana late Sunday through Monday, bringing a mix of heavy snow, freezing rain, and dangerous travel conditions. Here is our current thinking. A powerful weather system will move from the Oregon coast to the Texas Panhandle by Sunday, pulling in moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. As the system moves through the Midwest, it’s expected to bring snow to central Indiana Sunday evening, with cold air from an Arctic high-pressure system keeping temperatures low enough for widespread snowfall. As the system evolves, warm air aloft may intrude, creating a band of mixed precipitation or freezing rain south of I-70. Areas farther north are likely to remain primarily snow, with the potential for moderate to heavy accumulation. But the exact track is still uncertain - changes will be made. Current Thinking: *Timing: Snow begins late Sunday and intensifies overnight, continuing into Monday. Lingering snow showers may persist into Tuesday. *Precipitation Types: Central and Southern Indiana: Snow transitioning to a wintry mix or freezing rain, especially south of I-70. Northern Indiana: Predominantly snow, with potential for heavier accumulation. *Snowfall Potential: Accumulations exceeding six inches are possible, with localized higher amounts. Exact totals depend on the storm’s track, which remains uncertain. *Ice Potential: Freezing rain could cause significant ice accumulations in southern Indiana, creating hazardous conditions. *Cold Air: Arctic air following the system will drop temperatures into the teens and single digits, with subzero wind chills. We have high confidence that the very cold air will settle into the entire state of Indiana. Key Uncertainties The path of the storm and how much warm air moves in will decide the type and amount of precipitation. A stronger storm could bring heavier snow and a mix of wintry weather farther north, while colder Arctic air could push the storm’s path farther south. Preparations *Monitor updates as confidence in the storm's specifics grows. *Prepare for potential travel disruptions and power outages. *Avoid relying on early snowfall totals from weather apps, as these are raw model data and not forecasts. A sample of the raw model data is in the attached image. Stay tuned for detailed updates throughout the week. A lot can, and most likely will change between now and Sunday.
