Discussion

After a dry, chilly day on Friday, the next storm in a series of storms will bring snow and ice to the region on Saturday and Saturday night and snow/ice accumulations of a coating to a couple of inches are possible. Any clouds early Sunday will give way to mainly sunny skies so there should be no travel issues in the leadup to the Super Bowl (start time at 6:30pm). Another storm system in this on-going active weather pattern can bring additional accumulating snow to the region from Tuesday into Wednesday of next week.
