Still some risk of a bigger snowPosted Jan31, 2007 at 05:47 PM
The developing system is producing scattered precipitation across the middle United States tonight, including snow streaking across Missouri and Arkansas into Tennessee (national radar linked here). It's a little patchy now, and this system may end up being a series of blobs of precipitation rather than one solid area. Don't be surprised to see a letup during the afternoon on Thursday, only to have precipitation restart later in the day. This does not look like what you would call a "big storm" but I wouldn't be surprised to see some local area get 6 inches if they get in a heavier band of snow for a while. Predicting where these heavier bands will set up is next to impossible before they develop on radar. We're at least 12 hours away from that. I still like a widespread 2-4-inch snow forecast for the area on Thursday, just a bit more than the weather service's 1-3-inch call.
