.DISCUSSION...A system and associated cold front will move through
the region Friday. Snow chances increase ahead of the front, with
rates becoming maximized around frontal passage. Currently, most
likely timing of the frontal boundary appears to be around 1400 to
1600 LST. Lighter snow showers will gradually taper off behind
the front into the overnight hours. Rates around time of frontal
passage will likely exceed 1 inch per hour, and storm total
snowfall currently is in the 9 to 13 inch range (around 0.7 to 1.1
inches of water equivalent). Ahead of the front, southwest winds
will likely gust in the 45-55 mph range, with around a 30% chance
of gusts in excess of 60 mph. Winds will quickly shift
northwesterly following frontal passage, and gradually diminish in
magnitude. By Saturday, drier air will largely preclude
precipitation chances, though around a 10-20% chance of light snow
showers remains. Winds will favor a westerly component Saturday,
with a some modest gusts (to around 25 mph or so) during the
afternoon.
