Heavy Upslope Snow Event Ahead...TRI Possibly Included

Wow...I haven't posted on here in weeks. Truth be told, life has been rather frustrating recently, and I've just not bothered. But no more...I plan on making daily updates from now on.

A cold front associated with an area of low pressure to our north is passing through the area. This is bringing windy conditions as well as scattered showers, along with the standard post-frontal temperature drop. After the low slides northeast, a brisk northwest flow will set up. Low-level moisture will be plentiful enough to produce upslope rain/snow showers (dependent upon elevation). Any rain should become all snow tonight. This event could last until Thursday morning. However, the brunt of the snow will fall between this evening and midday Wednesday...with the mountains being the primary recipients of any snowfall afterwards. Accumulations will be tough to call. This is dependent upon how the upslope snow bands set up. Generally, a 3-6" storm is in store for most above 2500 FT...with 4-8"+ possible above 3500 FT. Below 2500 FT can expect a dusting to 2"...depending upon your location.
