Concern increasing...major snowstorm becoming a distinct possibility tomorrow

Good evening everyone! Normally, I don't update this late, but the trends I have seen on recent computer models are, quite honestly, downright alarming and I see fit to significantly increase my snowfall totals for tomorrow as it appears the storm will get stronger further west...and thus deliver a healthy dose of snow to central Connecticut. My current forecast now calls for five to ten inches in Middlesex county and some areas could receive as much as one foot of snow depending on the track, especially in eastern sections. I expect the Winter Weather advisories in effect for central Connecticut to become Winter Storm Warnings this evening if current trends continue. Additionally, there is a good chance that we name this storm Franklin, which would make this the furthest down the name list we have gotten since 1995-96, and put us in serious danger of exhausting the name list this year, which only goes as far as H, and the end of this month and early March certainly appear to have 3 or more named storms in them. At this time there is a high chance...60 percent...of this storm being named tonight as the model runs continue to travel westward. If you are reading this Saturday morning...sorry for the nasty surprise, this one had us all fooled!
