Squalls, some heavy, breaks of sun, and repeat was the theme of today. Very typical of a cold March day in the Alleghenies. A squall this a.m at 7:30-8am time dropped near a inch a mile south of Bittinger 2nw Valley while very little at Bittinger 2nw Valley.

Big questions remain Sunday-Monday. How far north will the low track? We need the current system to lift away asap. That may try keep it south. Right now central/southern Alleghenies stand a better chance than the northern. This can change. Gut says should. Behind this it does look like we set up more upslope regardless of exact track.
