Well... here we go again! The last system has moved out, but the impacts will be felt on Sunday. No time to rest though... the next big player is on the way!!!!
First, I want all of you to know that this is only for the first part of the pattern. This is as the low tracks through the Gulf and throws moisture northward. I'll include the other energy on Sunday. This looks like ti will last through mid week. So I'll have plenty of time on Sunday to re-evaluate and include the entire event. I just want to get you prepared for the first leg!
I still have issues with the northern line, but we'll kee an eye on that. You have heard reporters use "Off The Record" meaning that someone shared info that is meant to be kept a secret for a limited timeframe. So rather than use "Off The Record" we'll use "Off The Graphic"... LOL... and Off The Graphic I am thinking that Tuesday-Wednesday could include another 3"-6" or even higher in some spots. Don't get caught up in the highest number... there is a range in place.
I'll update you again on Sunday. If you get out and about on Sunday, please be ever so careful on some of these slick roads. I have had to walk in and out of my road several times this winter and I drive a 4x4... just a little scared of the large hill with no guardrails that leads straight down the mountain...LOL... going up doesn't scare me, it's the coming down that I don't care for ;0)
If you want small updates through the day please follow me on twitter or friend me on facebook. I go back and forth all day with as many people that I can. It's sometimes a quicker source for info... this thing takes time and little chats with myself. I feel like Jack Nicholson in, "The Shining" sometimes.. JK
