4Warn Weather – After colder temperatures the past few days, we are dealing with our first taste of winter weather moving through the region for the holiday weekend, bringing snow showers for just about everybody.
As we go through the evening and over overnight hours tonight, we will keep a chance of snow showers into the forecast. Where the snow showers do develop, they could drastically drop visibility in a short period of time, leaving a coating to a half inch of snow, and make travel tricky, especially on untreated surfaces. Overnight lows dropping into the 20s by early Saturday morning.
We will keep clouds into the forecast looking ahead into the start of the weekend, and also the chance of an isolated snow shower or a few flurries thanks to the northwesterly flow still sticking around. High temperatures remaining into the low 30s, but once you factor in the breezy winds, wind chill values will be into the teens and 20s for most of the day.
A chance for a few snow flurries will continue into the end of the weekend on Sunday, under a mostly cloudy sky. High temperatures not getting much warmer, remaining into the 30s looking ahead into the end of the weekend on Sunday.
Dry weather move back into the forecast looking ahead into the start of next week, before all eyes are on yet another system moving in by the middle of the week on Wednesday.
This looks to be a clipper system, diving from the northwest down to the southeast moving in late Tuesday night and sticking around for the majority of the day on Wednesday. With colder air firmly in place, with high temperatures into the low of mid 30s and overnight lows into the 20s, this does look like it would be primarily snow. Some data is indicating that we may have a brief wintry mix or rain snow mix, but as of right now we are keeping this system primarily snow.
That system moves off to the east by the time we get a late Wednesday night, and we will keep a mostly cloudy sky into the forecast on Thursday. The grip with cold temperatures will continue, high temperatures remaining into the 30s looking ahead into next Thursday
