Accumulating snow next week? It's possible!


 For the past several days we've been watching a potential storm system for early next week developing in the Plains and moving through central Illinois and into the Ohio River Valley.  The track with this storm has varied day to day, as it should since it's still over 130 hours away and it will take time for models to resolve, but it's something to pay attention to.  Cold air will settle in after Thanksgiving and remain at least through the beginning of next week.  As the cold air from the north collides with the moist air from the gulf it's possible that somewhere in the Midwest accumulating snow may fall. 
 
The morning model runs have once again shifted the low further south for next Tuesday leaving any potential precipitation south of the Stateline.  The track will continue to shift back and forth until the storm moves onshore later this weekend.  We'll continue to track this potential storm system because climatologically we won't be that far off from when we would expect our first inch of snow.  Stay tuned!
