Justin Liles: Chance of snow tonight

Surface temperatures are warm enough Thursday afternoon to help generate a little wintry mix early with passing energy. Temperatures will cool off enough for a turn over to all snowfall tonight into Friday morning. Some slick travel is possible early Friday morning. We are currently 1.2” away from becoming the snowiest December on record. We currently sit in second place at 43.1” of snow. We may see as much as 1” but it does not look like we’ll see more than that.

However, we do have another shot of snow late Saturday into Sunday. We could break the record right before New Year. Regardless, it’s going to be close. Quieter weather is expected Sunday. We are currently watching something interesting next week. It looks to come sometime Monday through Wednesday. Models are all over the place as well as the precipitation type. It’s way too early to make a call on the type of precipitation we may see next week.
