If you are a fan of winter and snow, you are probably getting your hopes up for a forecasted winter storm set to arrive this weekend. The featured plot shows liquid precipitation forecast for Saturday morning from the GFS model. The yellow value of 0.4 inches would equate to about 4 inches of snow for just that period with more snow forecasted for Saturday.
