Snow flurries have broken out in the Clifton area early this morning, temperatures have fallen to the low 20s in most areas with a brisk northeast wind.

During most of the day we will only have light snow mixed with some freezing drizzle, little or no accumulation is expected.

The snow should taper off on Friday morning and end around noon, it will remain windy with high temperatures only in the teens.

Friday night will be bitterly cold with temperatures falling to near zero in the Clifton area but 10-15 degrees below zero inland which would make this the coldest temperature in five years.

Slight moderation on temperature on Saturday with lighter winds with highs in the 20s.

Milder still on Sunday along with rain developing that may start off as a mix of snow in the afternoon but all areas will just be plain rain.

New Years’s Day will be dry with continued cold temperatures.

Snow will develop Thursday morning and remain mostly light during the day, however as the storm develops snow will become heavy at times Thursday night into early Friday, my first guess of accumulation is in the 5-8 inch range.

Tonight will be mostly fair with temperatures falling into the teens.

After a chilly morning Tuesday will feature partly sunny skies and seasonably cold temperatures.

New Year’s Day should be cold and dry.

Looking ahead to the late week’s storm, the computer models are still not in agreement with the American model showing a light snow and mixed precipitation event for Thursday while the European indicating heavy snow Thursday into early Friday.  I should have better details from this winter storm tomorrow.

After the storm passes on Friday a strong northwest flow of Arctic air will be covering our area, high temperatures may remain only in the teens with wind chills below zero.  Early morning temperatures on Saturday will drop to the single digits in most of the area.

Moderating temperatures for the weekend but another storm system may give us a chance of rain or snow Sunday night into Monday..
