Discussion
Our recent dry and mild weather pattern is coming to an end... After temperatures climbed well into the 50’s on Thursday, a downward trend begins today and it will accelerate early this weekend. In fact, bitter cold air is likely to flood this area by the weekend and it will come with a good chance of accumulating snow on the order of 3-6 inches between late today into early Saturday. Temperatures will do no better than the teens on Saturday and Sunday and potentially confined to near 10 degrees by Monday. Overnight temperatures are likely to drop to as low as 5 degrees below-zero from Saturday night through Monday night.
