WINTER WEATHER UPDATE

Easier to post something new...several models want to deteriorate our overnight weather in the short term and throw us into the realm of freezing rain, the worst of our wintry scenarios.  Couple that with high winds, and we'll be wishing for quiet spring weather!

ACA is in a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY for freezing rain overnight tonight (9pm) through Tuesday morning (9am), the biggest concern for accumulating ice on all surfaces.  It's all about the surface temperature, and I'm not there to watch my thermometer.  Please report your temps and conditions in the comment form below, or use the email button to email your info and I'll post it that way.

We are also under a HIGH WIND WARNING above 3500' for winds gusting to or above 50mph in ACA...less speed in our lower half.  That lasts from midnight through 6p Tuesday. Power outages are a likely possibility, so keep the flashlights and candles handy.

ACA is still looking at a colder and more wintry precipitation pattern Wednesday through Saturday,  Ugh.  NAM is running 2-3", but the GFS is still at 1".  The GFS has been more accurate so far this season, though the model doesn't see out the full time period at this moment.
