Discussion:

Confidence is increasing for disruptive impacts to the morning commute. Increasing the probability of a delay to 65%. The only thing holding me from going higher is the fact that the overall timing of the event is not ideal for a delay, with the snow being spread across several hours lasting into early afternoon.

Discussion:

Models tonight have robustly increased the amount of snow for Friday, with 4-6 inches appearing likely. Added a 10% chance of a full closing to take into account the small possibility of a warning level event. A delayed opening would be likely given the expected totals, but the timing of the event makes that option somewhat unfavorable since snow will continue to fall well after the morning commute is over. Given these factors, I am increasing the numbers but am hesitant to make the combined probability of impacts any greater than 50% right now. Further changes throughout the day are highly likely.

Discussion:

Light snow is expected Friday resulting in accumulations of 1-3 inches. Given the low amounts and expected timing, there is a low probability of a delayed opening.
