Last night I said we might have a stab at some snow flurries on Saturday. Now its looking like any energy that could produce snow would stay to the northwest. By the time any energy would reach us the atmosphere would be dry. Below is a look at the 500mb chart. It measures upper level winds and shows possible storm energy. Mix that with any available moisture and you've got some kind of precipitation. And if temperatures are cold, that precipitation will be snow.
Above is a look at the vater vapor model in the atmosphere between the lower and middle trophosphere. It shows available moisture in the atmosphere. Saturday night when the energy looks to be closest, the front and the moisture will have pushed through. Snow is unlikely! It looks to be all rain. Sunday looks good. Still cool with highs in the 40's near 50. Next week we'll see more rain as Spring is looming and this is usually the start of the rainy season here in the Natural State.
