Discussion
An Arctic cold front will approach the region later today and winds will be on the increase as a result and there can be an isolated rain or snow shower as well. The coldest air so far this season pushes into the area later tonight and overnight lows are liable to be near 20 degrees across many suburban locations. Low pressure will push northeastward from the southeastern states on Friday and it should throw accumulating snow our way beginning early in the day…a coating to as much as 2 or 3 inches in some spots; especially, just to the south of the metro area.
