TREATABLE EVENT - COMING.
This storm is still off the Pacific coast, but the latest models show this to be a significant storm for our area. Rain or freezing rain in some areas may begin early Thursday and mix through the evening hours changing to all snow by the midnight hour. Snowfall around that time will be on top of any freezing precip. NWS is projecting up to 5" by early Friday morning, but I believe 3" will be the average in the area more or less. Either way, the current forecast calls for horrible driving conditions from afternoon Thursday through early Friday.
It's still early, but I expect the NWS will have us in a Winter Weather Advisory by early Thursday.
Christmas and after, we fall into a deep freeze for a while with a similar event just before New Year's.
