Wet Wet Wet

Well as I said in the previous post we had a chance for rain and snow for this weekend but it is definitely looking like we are going to be getting more than we bargained for.

We are getting slammed with moisture from the SW and then just to our east cold dry air is going to be taking over and creating enough instability to drop in temp and moisturize (for lack of a better word) the cool air, thus creating a ton of cold type precipitation.

This is showing the mixing ratio of mid level winds at 11:00 am Sat. Right over top of our area.

This is showing the precipitible water at 11:00 am Sat. once again right over top of us.

This is showing mid level wind shear blowing the moisture in from the SW at 11:00 am Sat.

Finally this is what is going to suck, here is the precip. outlook for us, pretty much 8-10 in. of the wet wet heavy snow.
