Discussion
An Arctic cold front will approach the region today and it can produce a couple of snow showers in the area from later this afternoon into early this evening. The weekend will be quite cold with Arctic high pressure in control limiting our temperatures to the low-to-middle 30’s for afternoon highs on both days.
By the latter part of the weekend, low pressure will begin to intensify 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 from west-to-east by Sunday night and Monday producing a significant snowfall along the way across the Midwest. There is a chance for accumulating snow here on Monday, but the heaviest amounts may stay just to our south…stay tuned on that. This system will then slide off the east coast by Tuesday of next week and more Arctic air will follow encompassing a wide part of the nation.
