No real changes to my forecast from yesterday. A snowstorm for Saturday is upon us and southern areas of Skook will see anywhere from 3 to 5 inches with northern Skook seeing anywhere in the range from 4 to 6 inches (see map). That doesn't mean southern Skook has less to worry about. In actuality, they may have 'more' problems since I expect some sleet and possibly freezing rain to mix in later in the storm in those parts. Northern Skook 'may' stay all snow contributing to the higher totals. Of course, in situations like this, us weather forecasters can be 90% definite but with Mother Nature, nothing is ever in stone, so a slight jog in the storm could increase or decrease totals, but I'm pretty confident with this call.
As for timing, things get going Saturday morning around 10 a.m., but I think most of the daylight hours, snow falls on the lighter side. The crux of the precipitation moves in around 4 p.m. and snows in earnest until around 8 when I think some sleet or freezing rain could mix in. Everything should wrap up around midnight tomorrow night.
Make sure to be following my Facebook page for on-the-fly updates throughout the storm. And if you hate this winter weather, hang tight. Long range models show later next week, we may crack 40! FORTY I said! Break out the bikinis!
