SNOW THURSDAY?: The latest GFS model runs continues to show the storm Wednesday night through Friday morning moving far enough south and east of the state that the heaviest snow will fall south and east of the state, however the WRF and NAM show the low much closer to the state with heavy snow possible over the southeastern half to 3/4ths of the state. Other models not seen on the video also are in similiarity to the NAM and WRF. The GEM is slightly slower with the storm but with the same locations.

RIVER FLOODING: Flooding continues on many rivers across the state, due to ice jams from the recent snowmelt and warm temperatures. This will continue for the rest of the week into the weekend, but cooler temperatures will slow the rise and fall of these rivers.
