Spring Snow?
As unlikely it is for snow to fall this late in the season, we are seeing our first real chance of it for a month, after the high temps since the end of February. However, the chance for a decent snowfall is looking slim. The time the snow would potentially fall would be Saturday night and Sunday morning. At this point, however, the storm looks to be going south, so we will probably be "fringed" and only get the edge of the storm and lower precipitation totals. While a shift north 50-100 miles could lead to a few inches, right now it looks like the snow that falls will be light and melt away quickly. Due to the light snowfall, more intense sun angle, and warm ground; any light snow that falls will likely only stick to grassy surfaces and melt away quickly. Right now, I would call for around an inch grassy areas, and a dusting on the roads.

Major Rainstorm Tomorrow
Tomorrow through Thursday, a major rainstorm with likely flooding will impact the area. Starting light Wednesday afternoon, the rain will increase overnight and remain heavy all day Thursday, continuing until the storm tapers off Thursday night. Some minor flooding is definitely possible, as the ground is saturated from this weekend's storm. We will likely get 2-3 inches of rain, and unlike the weekend storm, it probably will not change to snow at the end. Try to enjoy the miserable rain and forget that it would of been 20-35 inches of snow.
