Snowy Weather Possible for the Ohio Valley

It looks like a storm system will begin its trek through the Ohio Valley today, bringing with it potential for accumulating snow.  Uncertainties still exist as some models don't really show snow accumulations, and I'm not even sold on it.  That's why the title of this post and all of my maps will say possible on them.  First let's start off with today.  The HPC is hinting at a very slight possibility for more than four inches of snow:
While only a ten percent chance for greater than four inches of snow doesn't seem like a lot, it's very big for those areas, especially in November.  Here is USA Weather's official map:
Not a wide range in accumulations, so I just put out one color area for the whole thing.  This one could come as a surprise, as people in this region don't usually experience snow until later in the year.  Of slightly greater concern is when this storm tracks through the Ohio Valley.  Here is my map:
Three to six inches is possible in the light blue region, with higher amounts in the darker blue area.  It looks like a fun storm!  Later on into next weekend, it looks like another storm will move through with potential for a few inches of snow.  Behind that, a strong cold blast will move through.  Just another tidbit to look forward to.  Stay tuned!
