Tuesday Morning Update on Potential Winter Storm Friday Into Saturday

By MCS Staff

Published January 25, 2022 at 12:32PM

We remain in the “slight winter storm” threat category for potential winter weather this Friday into Saturday, according to the National Weather Service.

As we mentioned in yesterday’s update, this thing can go either way…and it already has. The GFS showed a major storm, took it away, brought it back, took it away (late yesterday), and has kind of brought it back again this morning with the model output showing a general 2-4″ for our area. The Euro didn’t show much, then started bringing the storm our way, took it away, and brought it back overnight for a model output of a general 4-6″ for our area.
