A weak clipper will likely give us some light snow this morning with most accumulations being a dusting to maybe a half an inch. Clearing this afternoon and it will be milder with highs in the low 40s.
Thursday will be seasonably cool but we should stay dry as another weak low pressure area remains mainly to our south.
Friday looks to be dry with near normal temperatures as weak high pressure builds over our area.
As the high pressure moves off shore on Saturday a southwest flow will bring milder temperatures.
An Arctic cold front is expected to pass through dry early Sunday followed by colder air.
Early next week will be cold and there will be a chance of snow Monday night into Tuesday. At this time the GFS model has a rather significant snowstorm for our area while the European model has the storm too far to our south and keeps our area dry.
