:: More Snow to Come
After receiving 6.5" here at lakevilleweather.com, topped with about an 1/8th of an inch of freezing rain Saturday, our 48 hour reprieve will end Tuesday AM, as a shortwave system from Alberta will enter the area. The responsible system is comprised of mid-level energy that has pushed into the intermountain west from the Pacific NW, coupled with a nearly-stationary boundary draped over the Dakotas. The low pressure will drive through the state from NW-SE during the day tomorrow triggering the snow event. Overnight tonight, pre-system advection will raise precipitable water values and get the atmosphere primed for the snow event. Latest forecast modeling shows the potential for 4-5" of snow accumulation throughout the day. The 00Z model runs will give the best look at potentials for this to hold true. In the meantime to prepare the area, NWS-MPX has issued a Snow Advisory. Stay tuned for developments and updates.
