3/29- March Going Out Like a Lion

Good Wednesday all-

Well, here we go once again with a snow potential. Fortunately, this one does not appear to be all that significant, with just an inch or so likely in most of the state on Friday morning. That said...the GFS throws all this out the window and drops epic amounts of snow on the region. I do not buy it, but I cannot simply ignore it at this stage in the game. Currently though, the five big models are outputting 2-2-2-2-1-20. Obviously, you can see that this seems excessively high, and is very unlikely, but let's keep our eyes out just in case. The majority of models thankfully change the precipitation to a cold rain during the day on Friday, which looks utterly dreadful regardless of precip type. By the time we are finished, we can expect an inch or more of rain. This will be nearly a drought-ender, so we can be thankful for that, but it has been a really wet week to finish March, and it shows no signs of slowing down moving into April. We'll just have to wait and see what happens. Whatever happens Friday, the best choice for the weekend is Sunday.

Unfortunately, weather history was made yesterday when the second fatal incident with storm chasers involved occurred, with three killed, including TWC's Kelley Williamson and RandyYarnall. As a meteorologist this is tough to stomach, but storm chasing remains a dangerous job. They were not impacted by a tornado- one of the cars ran a stop sign and the collision that ensued killed all 3 people involved.
