Official NWS forecast:
Major Storm Next Weekend?
Our NWS has put together this GIF to illustrate how cold it’s going to be and when you can expect it. Notice on Saturday it says we’re “about to get blasted” with cold air.
This weather system could bring severe weather on the front end, with a winter storm on the back end. Exactly when and where remains unclear. We only have a general idea.
SPC (Storm Prediction Center) thinks it’s to early to put out a severe weather outlook for it at this time because the models are not in agreement with timing and intensity.
The GFS model is delivering coupious amounts of rain for us Saturday 12 am – Sunday 12 am:
Remember: this is just a weather model, which is probably wrong with exact timing and intensity, but I think it’s going a good job painting the big picture.
The European model is also delivering a lot of rain, but 24 hours later than the GFS. This timing difference illustrates why we don’t trust the models this far out.
No model is predicting any snow behind the cold front at this time.
This is something to watch closely.
