I'm hoping we can at least see the western fringe of the cirrus deck, that will be more than exciting. Enjoy this storm all you easterners...
ETA is movin' on west, and getting stronger... Since the event is still a solid 24-36 hours away, and if this westward trend continues, maybe you will get snow after all Joel...
I'll hold you to that. 8)
I'm thinking NWS offices will have to make some big changes with the A.M. forecast package regarding the ongoing warnings/watches. DTX menioned that if the 18Z run continued a pronounced westward trend, significant changes to the forecast would need to be made. Nothing is worse than getting a blizzard/snowstorm on one of the busiest travel days, especially when it wasn't predicted until 24 hours or less in advance (no significant warning for ground crews and the road commission). Hopefully I get hammered with this storm, my area kind of missed out on the Blizzard of 1999 (we only got 10 inches), whereas Chicago got just over 24 inches.
