Weekend storm update 2: Looking warmer

From Dan: How the crime of copyright infringement took $1 million from me and shut down my operation.

In September of 2025, my work is generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I'm being forced to shut down my successul operation, against my will, due to one cause alone: 95% of that revenue is being stolen by piracy and copyright infringement. I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. Do not be misled by the lies of infringers, anti-copyright activists and organized piracy cartels. This page is a detailed, evidenced account of my battle I had to undertake to just barely stay in business, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem faced by all of my colleagues and most other creators in the field.

Tonight's evening model runs are out, and things are looking warmer for this weekend's event, at least for Saturday and early Sunday. Here are the precipitation type forecasts from tonight's GFS and WRF models for Sunday morning.

Both models do change West Virginia over to snow on Sunday afternoon/evening as temperatures quickly fall, and both still show a good amount of precip lingering into Sunday night. This means a 2 to 5 inch snow for the lower elevations of the state (Charleston and Clarksburg) is still a possibility by Monday morning. Ohio looks to be the winner in our region for the weekend snow totals, with temps staying below freezing for much of the event. Forecasts there are calling for as much as 8 inches by Sunday afternoon.

A possible 'sleeper storm' for us will be on Saturday morning, when temps should be slightly below freezing for a brief time as the rain begins. The means a chance for freezing rain that could very well be an event in itself if temps stay below freezing for longer than forecast. Either way, any ice accumulations should be gone by the afternoon.

My sister and her family in Boston reports a fresh 9 inches of snow from today's event in the northeast. They could be seeing much more if temperatures there can stay cold through the weekend.
