Feb 7th and 8th Preliminary Map

78

High pressure currently in control will start to give way to a low pressure area that is developing over SE TX currently…At the same time there is a low pressure that i just south of Lake Michigan. The low pressure to the south will start to lift off towards the NE while the low pressure south of Lake Michigan will move ENE. Meanwhile another area of low pressure further south in the GOM will also begin to lift off towards the NE and these three areas together will bring our next shot at precipitation to the region. Generally expecting at this point and time about .25-.50 liquid equivalent across majority of the region.

Wintery Mix to perhaps some snow will generally occur along the coast. Further inland …we should be cold enough to be primarily snow but in the beginning depending on the arrival of the precipitation it could start off as a wintery mix as well but then change over to snow relatively quickly. It is these areas where we expect the heaviest snowfall to occur and then further to the NE where the storm should deepen more and the QPF could be slightly heavier. In this region it should also be mainly snow with the highest amounts of 3-6 inches.

This is a preliminary map at this point and time and if things should change..we will certainly update this image before the event would begin.

Timing across the eastern regions mainly looks to be after 6 PM on monday night…

Stay tuned for more information on this system!
