Not much has changed since Andy's post Thursday night. Our next clipper is expected to dive southward out of Canada on Saturday and track basically right over the Quad Cities or just to the southwest. That puts us in a prime spot for some accumulating snow.
There is still some uncertainty in the track of the system, but right now a good 1 to 3 inches of snow looks like a possibility from the Quad Cities and points northeastward. Here are a few model outputs of snowfall.
 |
| This is the 12Z (6AM) run of the NAM/WRF model that shows the heaviest band of 2-4" of snow over the QCA, showing the more southwest track of the low |
 |
| 12Z GFS run similar to the NAM/WRF, but just a bit more northeast, leaving the QC with 1 to 2" of snow. |
 |
| Our in house model is a bit more bullish on snow totals, and has a further track southwest (similar to last night's run), and is indicating a general 2 to 4" amount |
We are still waiting on the latest model run from the European and GFS. Throughout the next several hours we should have a better idea of the track the clipper will make. Again, looks like an inch or two (with isolated higher amounts. in the QC with higher amounts northeast. Stay tuned for further updates, as the track could move either northeast or southwest, giving the QC less ore more amounts.!
