The 18Z Euro is still showing snow for some localities over the LM/FV Monday night whereas the HRDPS keeps the snow centred over the FV. :wave:

Yeah, I would have to disagree with those maps because this area gets skunked pretty much on both of them which isn’t going to happen
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)

I wondered about that wording too but as you say, it's true.

EC covering all the bases, some of everything in the coming week's forecast. :o

And most importantly, local snowfall on Monday 5cm. though I'm not sure what the difference is between these two: 'A few wet flurries and rain showers changing to a few rain showers and wet flurries near noon'

It's called clown range for a reason.
