FIRST WARN FORECAST: Weekend brings some winter weather with all eyes on next week for snow and record cold
We have upgraded next Tuesday to a top alert First Warn Weather Day, as accumulating snow and some of the coldest air this season is expected to move in. Highs look to top out around 8 (which would make for the coldest day so far this winter), and the morning may bring wind chills as low as -15 to -20. Additionally, we will be on the northern edge of a large winter system. At this point, snow may begin as early as Monday, then continue with heavier snow through much of Tuesday before winding down by next Wednesday morning. Accumulation looks likely at this point, and it could be impactful. Current projections range from 3-6″, depending on what track it ultimately takes. While the big picture of cold and snow is pretty clear, the fine details such as snow totals have plenty of time to be tweaked. Stay with us for updates.
Before we get there, we have Friday and the weekend which also bring wintry weather potential. We are First Warning you for patchy light freezing drizzle Friday from mid-morning to mid-afternoon. Not everyone will see it due to the widely scattered nature of it, but we always want to give you a heads up any time there is an ice chance. Any ice does look very light, with only a light glaze possible. Friday will also be very windy with gusts to 40 mph in the afternoon.
Saturday starts with patchy rain, but falling temperatures through the day bring a switch to scattered snow for the afternoon and early evening. We have a First Warn to highlight this messy weather, though any snow accumulation looks light at a dusting to a half inch.
Sunday is also highlighted with a First Warn, as temperature drop and bring morning wind chills down to -5 to -15. The afternoon high is only 16.
