The long awaited forecast

Sorry I forgot about some meetings I had to go to last night...
Anyway looks like this system moving in from Co today will remain South...However we still could see some snow...Thinking is around an inch or two through today and tonight...1 to three inches will be possible South of the interstate 94...
Next System come in from CO area on Thursday/Thrusday night...
CEP/ECMWF has a 999 MB low pressure over Eastern CO this low is forecasted to track to the Northeast over IA and MO then into the Ohio Valley...We could see another 1 to 2 inches,however most of the accumulating snows will be to the South...Over Southern WI...if this track holds...GFS has the same track and has been for the last few runs,but a little weaker...
NAM has the same track as GFS and about the same pressure.....So will run with the thinking a 1 to 2 inches of snow for now in the FA...
This weekend...We will be watching another system come out of the Southwest...This system as of right now looks to remain South of the FA,however if it does track more North would mean more snow,however this system is forecast to have a trof into the area which would help enhance snow...We will watch it as we get closer to that time frame....Cold temps will remain locked over the FA through the week....More Arctic air on it's way late weekend and into next week...
