Discussion
It turns colder today and then even colder this weekend following the passage of a cold front on Friday night that will usher in Arctic air for Saturday and Sunday. The cold front can produce snow showers around here later tomorrow Friday - maybe even a period of steadier snow - and an Arctic high pressure system will take control by the weekend.
By the latter part of the weekend, low pressure will begin to organize over the middle of the nation and it’ll have quite a bit of cold air to work with resulting in plenty of accumulating snow on its north side. This system will slide east by Sunday night and Monday producing a significant snowfall in the Midwest and there is a good chance for accumulating snow here on Monday with several inches on the table. This system will then slide off the east coast by Tuesday of next week and more Arctic air will encompass a wide part of the nation.
