Light snow is on tap today from a weak, disorganized wave. That doesn’t mean it won’t snow, but it just won’t be a big storm locally. Still, it doesn’t take much to make things slick, especially as temperatures won’t climb above freezing today. Today’s snow will be very similar to the snow we experienced earlier in the week. A powdery, light snow that will take most of the day to accumulate several inches. Here’s a look at the timeline:
Snow begins for the region through around 8am leaving a coating of snow for the morning commute. The snow will be light and steady throughout Friday morning. Keep in mind the snow will accumulate on top of the leftover snow and continue to build up the overall snowpack. The brunt of the storm looks to occur during the morning commute through early afternoon with snow tapering by mid-afternoon. The storm’s best dynamics appear to be south and east of our region. So don’t be surprised if there are breaks in the snow at times or if the snow is very light at other times. Snow amounts will likely range between 1-3″ by late afternoon/evening. The snow should be done by the evening commute for most locations.
Tonight will turn cold and blustery as more arctic air spills south behind today’s storm. Saturday will be cold and blustery with sub-zero wind chills in the morning and single-digit wind chills throughout the day. More sunshine will break out by Sunday, although it will remain chilly and breezy. Next week starts seasonable, but a big warm-up will develop as we warm into the 40s by midweek. It also looks wet by the middle of next week too with a showery period expected to last several days through next weekend.
