Nasty Weather - As Expected

Today has been an incredibly chilly-feeling day where the rain feels like liquid ice pellets. That is largely due to the fact that snow is actually the precipitation that originally falls from the sky that is melted as it hits the warmer air closer to the surface. It chills the air, though, as it falls. That effect causes some massive temperature drops you most likely have felt.

As far as snowfall is concerned, you can see a forecast map here from earlier this afternoon. We'll see if it pans out.

We're definitely seeing a lot of rain and a little snow chance as well. As we mentioned in the previous post we are looking closely at some chilly temperatures in the upper levels of the atmosphere to find the best snowfall potential. Check out this map:

You can see a very fine line that divides temperatures about a degree or two about freezing from temperatures that are a degree or so below freezing. That is what our KDLT weather team is closely monitoring.

We'll make sure we update you as necessary as we head through the next 24-48 hours. Stay warm!
