Winter Storm starts to take shape

The advertised winter storm from over 10 days ago is just now starting to put its pieces together. As you can see by the map above numerous Winter Storm Watches and Warning have already been posted. They extend from the West Coast and into the Rocky Mountains east across the Plains and Ohio Valley. The track of the storm will be vital on where the snow and Ice line sets up. Right now the greatest Ice accumulation looks to run from East Central Oklahoma northeast through southern Missouri and into Kentucky. North of this line there will likely be a general 4-7 inch snowfall from northeast Oklahoma through Missouri, southern Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and northern Kentucky . Isolated 8 to 10 inch amounts are possible within the band of snow where T'storms get pulled up into the cold air. Here is a quick look at tomorrow recipe of weather as the energy starts to kick out of the West. Main event will get going Monday evening through Wednesday into the Mid-Atlantic states. I'll try to post another update by Monday afternoon with some quick links you can click on to keep you informed. If I see any big changes or special situations I'll post but if not. Keep up to date with short term weather forecast through your local TV, radio and national weather service. I would love to forecast every location for the entire storm but I just don't have the time.

**Quick Note of interest*** I have made a couple changes on the website and have included a Weather Center area on the bottom of the website. Right now its mostly the Southern Plains but I do plan on expanding it. Please feel free to let me know what you think and what you would like to see.... Thanks Justin Cecrudy@yahoo.com
