Spring Starts Saturday....

...too bad it won't feel much like it!  The going forecast still looks to be on track. A couple things to notes as we go through the weekend with the snow.  Temperatures will stay in the low to mid 30s so the snow that does fall should be a wet/slushy accumulation.  Also, with the recent mild spell ground temperatures have had the opportunity to thaw a little so the snow may melt some at the onset.  You will probably notice more of an accumulation on grassy surfaces sooner than on the roads.  The low that develops along the cold front will continue to remain well south of the Stateline keeping the main forcing down there as well.  Some may see accumulations a little above 3".  Friday night into Saturday a jet streak (area in the jet stream where wind speeds are greater) will develop to the north.  This may add a little extra lift in the atmosphere to allow for possibly higher accumulations.  We'll have to watch and see how it develops throughout the day today.  Be sure to keep checking back for the latest forecast!
