Strong storm system for Monday

This is one of the hardest forecasts I ever made, so please bear with me on this one! this weather map is for Monday, Monday Night, Tuesday and Tuesday night. 

A strong storm system will begin to move in early Monday and this system will bring in many different types of weather. it will start off as Freezing Rain, then in the afternoon it will change over to spring-like rain showers, There will even be the chance of  some Thunder with this! Rain also may possibly be moderate at times in the afternoon. we may get as much as s half inch of rain, with this system so there may be some minor flooding, because of the melting snowpack and new rainfall Winds will be strong out of the southeast. The snowpack will be shrinking fast Monday and Tuesday There may not be much snow on the ground after this storm is over. 

Monday: Windy, Freezing rain early, freezing rain lasting longest in the north. Frz Rain changing over to plain rain showers in the afternoon, Some thunder is possible, Highs will be mild in the low 40s.  Monday Night: Rain, with the chance for thunder earlier, lows staying above freezing, rain may be moderate at times, as much as half an inch of rain is possible by the time the systems ends. 

Tuesday: Windy, chance of precipitation early, then skies staying mostly to partly cloudy, Highs reaching the 40.F mark. Tuesday Night: cloudy, with lows in the 20s, wind switching northwest. 


I will be reporting the rainfall and snow depth here from my house I will also report current weather conditions in the ( current Clayton Snowpack ), so check back often for updates from here, I will also make a post when the system is passed.
