Friends,

An update on the weekend snow potential, and beyond…

Look for temperatures to rise into the low 40s this afternoon, melting most of what laid yesterday, then plummet down toward 20 overnight.

Saturday will be colder with a high reaching only 36 as a strong cold front moves through in the afternoon. Look for snow flurries and showers in the afternoon and through the evening, perhaps extending overnight. But this area of precipitation now appears as though it will deal us only a glancing blow, so I’m not expecting more than a dusting to an inch in our area.

The call for Saturday, then: overcast with widely scattered snow showers; winds increase during the day. High 36, low 18. Evening and overnight wind chills will reach into the single digits, so bundle up!

Sunday will see clearing, persistently windy conditions, and extreme cold. High 21, low 9.

Cold again, partly cloudy and breezy on Monday with a high of 25 and a low of 15.

Next chances for snow are Tuesday throughout the day and evening; this has the potential to drop a few inches in our area, so stay tuned on that one. Thursday the 24th is looking rather like Saturday with light snow and scattered snow showers. On Tuesday the 29th, there’s a major system that could drop some serious-assed snow in our area. I know that will be music to many of your earholes!

Have a great extended weekend…

Monsoon
