***MAJOR WINTER STORM***

***MAJOR WINTER STORM***




All computer models are now on the same page on this winter storm to effect the area from Tuesday through Wednesday night....

A 996 low pressure will organize or the the corners area of the USA....This low is forecasted to lift Northeast into Southern/Central IA then move into Southern/Central WI,as it does it will deepen to around 974 MBS of pressure....GFS model is a little more South with said low,however it has been shifting the low North and Northwest with each run...ECMWF has also shifted the low more North/Northwest with its past runs...Moisture will be plentiful as the GOM is wide open....Cold air will not be a problem for my forecast area....Another thing that has be a little concerned right now with the strong intensification is this system will end up being a wind jammer...So right now thinking is 8+ inches of snow on tap for the FA,some of my higher areas may see 12+ inches of snow..Will have a map on that tonight when I get home from work.....

This could be a very dangerous winter storm....From Tuesday late afternoon through Wednesday night.....Snow should become heavy Tuesday late afternoon through Wednesday evening....Winds will become rather strong...We should see winds on the average of 15 to 25 MPH with gust up to 40-45 MPH at times....This will lead to very dangerous traveling conditions ....With heavy snow falling and blowing snow...Vis could drop to near 0 at times in open areas.so parts on my forecast area could see near if not blizzard conditions Tuesday night through Wednesday...



If one must be on the roadways through this time frame,make sure you have a winter safety kit in your car/truck..If you become stuck stay with your car/truck,call,or wait for help.....Let people know when you are leaving point A and you ETA to point B also let them know the way you are taken......



Will go into a very detailed forecast tonight...Some of it may be on the tech side....Stay tuned for more updates on this MAJOR WINTER SNOWSTORM....
