Discussion              

Colder air has pushed into the region in the overnight hours following the passage of a slow-moving frontal system that will now stall out just to the south of here. One wave of low pressure will produce some rain around here this morning and then snow showers are possible in the afternoon. Another wave of low pressure will push along the stalled-out frontal boundary zone later tonight and it could produce a touch of snow here from late tonight into early Wednesday. After a moderately cold day on Thursday, a strong Arctic front will blast through here on Friday morning and it’ll usher in two-day shot of some brutally cold air with painful wind chills and single digit lows by early Saturday…even zero degrees is on the table.
