Discussion
A strong cold front will approach the region today with a wintry mess of snow, sleet and rain early this morning that can even include a burst of heavier snow in some spots and quick small accumulations. It’ll turn breezy and milder by the mid-day and afternoon with partly sunny skies and temperatures are likely to reach the lower 40’s for highs. Moderate cold air will follow the cold frontal passage for the upcoming weekend and attention will turn to the Gulf of Mexico and Southeast US where a lot of moisture will be gathering. A storm will develop in the southeastern states by early Saturday night and it is likely to impact us here later this weekend. The most likely impact time for this quick-moving storm will be from late Saturday night into mid-day Sunday with snow that can mix with or change briefly to rain before the precipitation ends on Sunday. Snow accumulations of several inches are on the table for the late weekend storm.
