Twin Spins Contain Rain

Two systems swirling on the satellite pictures this morning. One is moving out of Saskatchewan, (Which should be on any spelling bee list.) and into North Dakota and Manitoba. The second system is spinning to the northwest of Albuquerque. (Actually it's a lot closer to Ogden, Utah but I had to go with tough to spell theme.) Both systems move into the plains today and continue eastward Wednesday. And these twin spins contain rain for us probably moving into the Sequatchie (Another toughie.) River valley by early afternoon. Rainy periods will stick with us through early Thursday afternoon, producing average rainfall amounts of at least one inch for many spots. One the other side of the mountains there could be some icy spots like Boone, NC. Folks there will be thinking about traveling to Chattanooga for the Division 1-AA Championship game on Friday. A longer haul from Cedar Falls Iowa where showers tonight will fall, changing to a healthy band of snow Wednesday morning from the northern system. They'll be in the teens Friday and Saturday mornings with highs struggling back into the low to mid twenties. More reasons why a trip to Chattanooga would seem appealing. Actually I'm rooting for the Panthers. Only because I was in the UNI-Dome one time to see The Who. I don't remember anything about the campus, but that concert was AWESOME. So points go to the school that rocks - the UNI Panthers. I'm not sure if Appy State has played host to anyone from the British invasion. My Alma Mater NIU - once hosted The Kinks. Another show that rocked Chick Evans Fieldhouse.
The next system may slide through late Saturday night and early Sunday morning. That one has the potential to create a wintry mix of precip. So we'll watch it as we head through the next couple of days. To quote The Who - "It's just another tricky day for you, fellah.
