Large Storm Looming

We mentioned it recently, and we're going to talk more about it now, but we have quite a storm coming our way. You could call it a "doozy" of a storm, as we did on our 6pm newscast Friday (or at least a "semi-doozy" was about as far as I'd go this far out from the actual arrival of the storm).

Here's the latest out of that system, as per the computer models. Typically we disregard them a bit more at this stage, as you might know if you are a regular reader of our weather blog - but the main 3 computer models we typically analyze are showing agreement much earlier with each other than they would usually show.

As such, here are some totals we could be looking at for early next week - PLEASE don't bet the farm on these totals, because it is very premature. Think of it as a preview of what *could* be rather than what *will* be:

Click on that image to really appreciate it for all it's worth, but remember it is still about 4 days out and there are still other storms circulating that could and likely will affect how much moisture actually gets pulled into that system - along with how much warmth.

We'll be keeping a close eye on this one!

Stay tuned!
