Good evening everyone! Attached are three First Predictions for this Monday (2/11), Tuesday (2/12), and Wednesday (2/13).
We have two snow-makers that will be passing through the region this week. The first will occur from Sunday night into the very early morning hours on Monday. A coating to half inch of snow is anticipated, with locally higher amounts. Usually, one inch of snow is enough to cause delays. However, because most forecasts are calling for less than one inch and with dry air expected to be in place (limiting accumulations), I am skeptical of the delay idea. I am being conservative with my prediction, but I would be surprised if isolated delays occur.
As for Tuesday, significant snow and ice accumulations are anticipated. 3 to 6 inches of snow and upwards of a quarter inch of ice will occur from the early morning hours on Tuesday until around midnight Tuesday night. The timing, simply stated, is not favorable at all for school operations on Tuesday. Usually with these type of events, schools delay the following day; I suspect the same will happen here.
By the way, if you are interested in seeing regional-level graphics, check out the Premium site! It issues school predictions for 12 counties across the area going out four days in advance. Take a look!
The next round of predictions will be issued tomorrow evening. Have a great rest of your day and thank you for the support!
