Storm update #3
As this storm churns through the ohio river valley the models cant come to a good agreement about the exact track of this system. The latest wobble in track takes it dead over the area. This means that we will see a little of everything, snow, sleet, freezing rain, and maybe a little plain rain.
Stay tuned!

Storm update #2
As we adjust the track forecast it is looking like it will track farther SE which means that more snow will fall at the coast and less inland.

Storm update #1
As I look at the radar I see that this storm is already very well formed with a nearly constant precipitation shield and some definite spin in the lower levels. This system is very moisture laden and will produce heavy precipitation. The tricky part is weather this precipitation will fall as rain, freezing rain, sleet, or snow. We will continue to monitor the forecasts and tweak the forecast.

Wednesday storm update
The storm that will disrupt travel for thanksgiving will head more north meaning a powerful storm coming out of the Ohio river valley will spin up through NE with a cold rain at the coast and some accumulating snows inland. This will be an interesting combination as the wind will be out of the SE shifting to the NNE and will be bringing in cooler air. There will be some debate on snow, ice, or rain but we know for certain that there will be MAJOR disruption to holiday travel East of the mississippi.
Stay tuned!

Possible Thanksgiving travel trouble
This Wednesday millions of Americans will hit the roads or take to the skies to get to family or friends to spend Thanksgiving with them. But on this travel packed Wednesday will feature a major storm impacting the northeastern U.S. This will include lots of cold rain with high elevation snows.
