Update 7pm: Here's an updated product from the HPC showing the probability of more than 4 inches of snow. In the QC there's a slight chance while areas to the North are far still more likely to see heavier snows! PREVIOUS POST:
As the storm closes in on the QCA it's time to put out the official forecast for Friday...the verdict is for a little less snow in the Quad Cities! A couple things that came into play with the forecast - it looks like some of the models might be overdoing the available moisture in the air. As evidenced by the very light snow that fell early Thurs morning there's just not much moisture to work with in the very cold air mass. On the other hand, with the cold air in place the storm will take advantage of what moisture it can, and we should see snow ratios averaging about 15/17:1
In the QC we're looking at 2-4" of snow, with higher amounts to the North and sharply lower amounts to the South!
