It's A Tight Squeeze

It's a new day, and it's still the same! there's no one of telling what this storm will do next! A National Weather Service meteorologist wrote this at noon today:


I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH THAT THE EXACT TRACK OF THIS STORM SYSTEM ISSTILL QUITE UNCERTAIN. A SMALL SOUTHWARD ADJUSTMENT OF THE STORMTRACK WOULD RESULT IN MORE WINTRY WEATHER ACROSS THE REGION...WHILE A FURTHER NORTHWARD TRACK WOULD RESULT IN MORE RAIN AND HYDRO ISSUES.


So, what now! First, check out the watches and warnings.



If you can see this, all of the northern part of the area is under a winter storm watch, and all south in Kentucky is under a Flood watch for Saturday and Sunday!


Perry, Clark, Floyd, Harrison, and Crawford counties in Indiana are right on the line between big snow and big rain, and thus no watches have been issued yet!

Again, how much snow?




Potential Breakdown of Snow Periods:








...Which all totals up to...?



It's so confusing!!! Breaking it down more, we see this:



It's going to be a close call! I'll try to update the blog as much as possible tomorrow! remember, since it will be saturday, the news will not be on as much tomorrow! If the track shifts, chances are, you're not going to know it!!!
I'll try to post once more tonight!

Remember,
I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH THAT THE EXACT TRACK OF THIS STORM SYSTEM ISSTILL QUITE UNCERTAIN. A SMALL SOUTHWARD ADJUSTMENT OF THE STORMTRACK WOULD RESULT IN MORE WINTRY WEATHER ACROSS THE REGION...WHILE A FURTHER NORTHWARD TRACK WOULD RESULT IN MORE RAIN AND HYDRO ISSUES.
Mark Weinberg: "They are way underestimating the warm air advection on this system. You absolutely must have a northeast wind from the surface to about 1 mile off the ground to sustain snow here. We will have a southeast wind from the surface up to 1 mile and that always forces a slot of very warm air into the mid levels of the atmosphere despite what any computer model says."
When will this confusion end???
