The NBM (National Blend of Models) updates more frequently and combines 20+ models and lots of observations and shows the most statically likely forecast. Currently showing around 5″ of snowfall.

TIMELINE

Weekend weather-maker

As it stands now, a chilly rain/snow mix develops early Sunday with a wet snow likely by Sunday evening and night into Monday morning.

SNOWFALL POTENTIAL

Snow totals

The models show a wide range of 1″ up to 2′ of snowfall. Most likely we’ll end up with 1-3″ of snowfall with the potential for up to 6″ of snow. Most of the stickage will occur after sunset since ground will be warmer during the day from recent rain and temperatures in the 50s leading up to the storm.

IMPACTS

Weekend weather

Impacts will continue into Monday morning with delays possible due to below freezing temperatures and slick conditions.
