Could someone with more winter weather knowledge help me with a question. I live about 15 miles south of downtown Baton Rouge. For tomorrow the NWS forecast for Baton Rouge has a high of 41 with an 80% chance of snow with accum. of 1-2 inches. For us it is the same temp with rain and sleet mix with no accum. What is going on for such different forecast?
First, whos forecast are you using for where you live. Different stations will have different forecasts. Also, there is sort of a 'ground zero' for these storms, also called a freeze line. This is the frustrating experience waco had all day yesterday until late. the freeze line was just north of them, so everything they got was rain or slush until that line dropped further south.. this could also be another reason for varying forecasts..
