Watching Storm to our South

Remember the pesky storm that we said is going to develop and hopefully stay to our south?? Well it finally formed and is dropping heavy snow and rain to our south, however, models are still having a really hard time figuring out where it is going to go. Our very own futurecast thinks that the southeast may receive a few rain and snow showers on Monday afternoon and evening. However, there are other models that insist the precipitation will stay to our south. These pictures are from the exact same time period from our futurecast and from another forecasting model. Both speak very differently about where this storm is going to go. Because of the unique nature of this storm (it is cutoff from the jet stream which is the steering mechanism for everything in the atmosphere) it is extremely difficult to decipher where this is going to go. So for now, we are going to keep the slight chances of rain or snow in the forecast for the southeast. However, this may change in the up coming weathercasts so stay tuned!!
