Discussion

Temperatures will be reluctant to rise above freezing early today so any remaining mixed precipitation can still cause slippery spots on untreated roadways. Temperatures climb to above-freezing by the mid-day and afternoon and should peak near 40 degrees. A cold, dry air mass will push in for Friday and there should be plenty of sunshine as high pressure takes control. Another system will bring us snow later Saturday and Saturday night and accumulations are likely…snow can mix with sleet and/or freezing rain at times. Partial sunshine should return later Sunday and temperatures will climb into the 40’s so there shouldn’t be any travel issues in the leadup to the Super Bowl (at 6:30pm). The active weather pattern will likely result in another storm system during the first half of next week which could bring more snow to the region.
