Hey everyone-
The forecast remains steady, but I am updating to inform you that channel 3 has upgraded their storm total to a statewide average of six inches...which means we now have the first named storm of 2014-15...Winter Storm Ariana! The Weather Channel's name for this storm, Cato, will not be used here, since the WFSB storm names are more local. Note that, contrary to belief in recent years, there is no offical name for winter storms, and this is done purely to increase awareness. Many in the meteorological world disagree with this practice, however I will use them because it is easier to refer to them from a historical standpoint.
For example- 2013's blizzard was named Charlotte, 2006's was Carson, and we got all the way to Winter Storm Olivia in 1995-96! The most named storms I've seen in a winter is 5, which happened in both 2010-11 and 2013-14, though last year we came one inch shy of having a sixth named storm.
