Hello Andrew.I watched my local news today and they mentioned a major winter storm in the Ohio valley on the 30'th of this month.What are your thoughts on this?Just curious.

Andrew said...

They must be going on the LRC.
If it does indeed repeat on the late november time frame (which it may), there may indeed be a snowstorm for the OV. I am trying to get a more in-depth view on this with my fellow weather enthusiasts.

If the OV gets hit, will Central Illinois get snow as well?

Hello Andrew.I'll keep checking back for an update on the storm over the Ohio Valley.

Hello Andrew.They stated that the storm would come from the Baja of California,then it would carve out a deep trough over the Ohio valley with copious amounts of precipitation.I would imagine that the gulf of mexico would get involved supplying the copious precipitation.

Owen- I was getting the wrong message you were sending. If this storm does indeed hit the OV, you may get some snow if colder temperatures can come into the area, but right now it looks like rain. Much can change.

Mike- I tracked that storm on the ECMWF just now. It looks like it will be a cutoff, so it will be producing copious amounts of precipitation. That will likely be because the low will just stay in place for a while. Imagine if that happened in winter. That's my dream as a weatherman.

Hello Andrew.So your saying we will get rain instead of snow?
