Snow Showers Coming In

Earlier this evening, I checked the weather on my The Weather Channel app. It indicated possible snow starting tomorrow afternoon around 4:00.

Then, a little while ago, I saw a weather report on a local news station that indicated a winter storm is coming into Grants, New Mexico tonight (Grants is around 45 miles east of Jamestown).

Then I checked the National Weather Service and this is what they forecast:
