Forecast Discussion:

So we ended up getting about an inch or two across the region so I feel good about my forecast. It was quite incredible to see temperatures surge up ahead of the front and still put down a decent little snow.

Here's whats on tap for the rest of the week, well the first half of the week is looking pretty nice, and warmer once we get past a cold Monday. High pressure will be in command until Wednesday, when a warm front starts to move north across the state, and could bring us a chance of some scattered showers or storms on Wednesday and a better chance on Thursday.

The best chance for showers and storms is on Friday when the cold front and low pressure actually passes through the state.

GFS Friday:


As you can see this run of the GFS is trying to get a bit of a squall line forming on the front. This would make sense as temperatures ahead of the front would be in the 60s and behind it in the 30s. This could potentially be a strong wind situation so I'll be keeping an eye on it throughout the week. After that we cool back down and then look to warm back up in the middle of the week after next.

It looks like to me that March is going to be a pretty active month with at least the potential of having one or two more accumulating snowfalls. We still might be able to crank out a big one as the NAO is trending back to Negative, and the PNA to positive. We'll just have to wait and see.

Have a great day and we'll have an update for you tomorrow.

I had just a little over 1" here in Pulaski County. It was snowing hard for brief period. Good call on the snowfall amounts
