I still think this one has the potential to become more than what's being forecast. Forecast right now is 6-10" but this one is going to be powerful. Temperature is still in question. I'll say this much for it: 6-10 is going to be the LOW end of what it can do. That means that if we do wind up having rain mix in, we're still going to get 6-10 inches.
