Outlook:

Afternoon updates, latest NWS warnings and the 12z ECMWF (Euro) in

Starting off with the latest NWS Warning map

https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=LWX&wwa=winter%20storm%20warning

The latest 12z ECMWF

This morning the 6z ECMWF was this for part 1-

and now the 12z went to this for part 1

so it came in a bit juicier

My thoughts from the morning post remain for part 1

And the 12z ECMWF for part 2

my thoughts on part 2 remain

Stay updated to your local NWS forecast and their latest snowfall maps are under the drop-down menu here on this page under snowfall info.
