NOWCAST 1/12/12

1:40pm UPDATE
A nice slushy coating of snow on the grass, street signs, trees, fences.... Roadways are just wet here. The temperature fell to 32 during the last hour.
Radar echoes seem to show a lightening trend to our west.
-----------------------
12:35pm UPDATE
Forgot to mention a while ago, but as of 12:20pm, the changeover has begun and temperatures have crashed to 34 degrees here at my location. A drop of 9 degrees in the past hour and a half.
---------------------------------

Since we're in nowcast mode, thought I'd share what the latest RUC model shows for the next 12 hours.
Looks like most areas will see below freezing temperatures by 8pm. Therefore, what you'll see on these maps represent snow and its water equivalent.

Obviously, you can enlarge the map to see your area. To me, it appears that the greatest accumulation is expected to occur across southern and eastern part of the state. Perhaps 2-3" not including higher elevations.
