Winter Storm Watch

10pm Update:  Most of the evening model runs are now in and I see no reason to change the forecast tonight.  We're still looking at a very good chance for accumulating snow late Friday night and Saturday.  the Winter Storm Watch is unchanged from the NWS...check out today's earlier post for details!  And remember, Anthony Peoples will have an important update Friday morning on CBS4 News This Morning!

Previous Post:

With more snow on the way, as Anthony blogged about earlier today the NWS has issued a Winter Storm Watch for the CBS4 area Friday night and Saturday.

Winter Storm Watch
It looks like snow will be the biggest problem with this storm, as winds shouldn't be too bad.  While there could be some freezing rain/sleet mixing in for portions of Central Illinois it should be mostly snow around the Quad Cities.  About the snow - there could be quite a bit of snow, especially SE of the Quad Cities.  Some towns like Galesburg, Kewanee and Princeton could end up with 6" or more!

And now my official forecast that you'll see on CBS4 News at 5 and 6 Thursday evening...
