Monsoon's in-storm update
It's already snowing, and rather steadily, as of 7:30. (Actually, it was snowing by 4 or 5am, so it's not entirely clear why school is being held at all.)
There's a large area of moisture over us right now, but we'll get a break by late morning, when the precipitation tapers to scattered snow and rain showers. For a few hours in the afternoon, there will be little or no precipitation at all. This "first phase" of the storm will accumulate 2-3 inches.
The snow will crank back up as the beastly "back end" of the storm moves through late this afternoon and this evening, into the overnight hours. Look for accumulations of 6-8 inches from this portion of the storm, raising totals in some places to near a foot.
Chance of early dismissal Wednesday, 85%
Chance of delay Thursday, 90%
Chance of cancellation Thursday, 75%
