Winter Is Back...

Hello!

Man, what a busy day.  So much to do!  Cold and snowy as well here in the area, fortunately that is not sticking to the ground.  That will change during the overnight hours.  Let's dive right into it.

SUMMARY:  As we are on the back side of the surface low that is now is in Canada, we have west-northwest winds and sharply colder air.  We will keep that around through Wednesday but temperatures do start to moderate on Thursday, with highs creeping up to 40 or a little milder, then falling right back to near freezing on the weekend.  A bit of a disturbance moving through on Friday into Saturday, maybe a chance at some snow on Sunday, but a low moving in on Monday evening should bring some snow along with it.

PRECIPITATION:  Snow falling in the area that hasn't adhered to anything but cars and grassy areas will start to stick overnight as we see temps fall below freezing.  Untreated surfaces will become slick, so be careful traveling.  I would expect a coating to a bit over an inch of new snow between now and daybreak.  That snow slowly tapers off as the day progresses, with just a few stray flurries by nightfall.  After that, Saturday and Monday night into Tuesday are the next chances at precipitation.

Forecast...

Tonight, cloudy, periods of snow, possibly heavy in bursts, low down to 20 with wind WNW 6-12 MPH.

Wednesday, skies start to clear in the afternoon, some lingering flurries, high 35.  Wind NW 10-15 MPH.

Wednesday night, partly starry skies, very cold, lows near 16, wind NW 6-12 MPH.

Thursday, becoming cloudy late, perhaps the chance of an afternoon or evening snowflake late, not as cold, high 38.

Friday, mainly cloudy skies,perhaps a peek or two of sunshine, milder high 44.

There's a look at your forecast through the end of the workweek, I do hope that you have a great night!  We'll update the forecast tomorrow with a look at the weekend and into early next week.  Blessings.
