Good Monday all!
We are seeing some model agreement on a non-direct hit from this storm, meaning our region will be spared the blizzard conditions that would have happened with a direct hit. However, some models continue to bring a light to moderate snowfall to our area on Tuesday, so I am going to keep my forecasted snowfall at 2-4" with locally less in Western areas and locally as much as 6" in eastern areas as the coastal low will be closer to those areas. I doubt I will have to raise these numbers, but I may well have to lower them if some models are right (The GFS is showing only about 1-2" statewide). Because of this, there is actually a chance that some schools are forced to dismiss early tomorrow and delay on Wednesday. The school possibilities for this week are listed below
Monday: Nothing
Tuesday: 33% chance of an Early dismissal generally, slightly higher east
Wednesday: 60% chance of a delay, 25% chance of a closure (If ECMWF is right, then 2-5" of snow falls Tues night, that would likely be enough)
Thursday: 2% chance closure (ONLY IF A DIRECT HIT OCCURS, HIGHLY UNLIKELY)
Friday: Nothing
Other than that, a relatively uneventful weather week is upcoming, with cold temps and generally partly cloudy conditions...
Today in weather history: March 24, 1975- An F3 tornado hits downtown Atlanta and destroys the richest part of the city and totals the Governor's mansion. Three people are killed and another 152 are injured.
