The Snapshot: Cold air from the east
and warm air from the west will make for an interesting mix of precipitation today. Expect
snow tomorrow and Thursday.
The Science: A warm front lifting up from the south will bring
rising freezing levels and a mixed bag of precipitation today. Another warm front followed by a strong cold
front will push through tomorrow. This will eventually lower freezing levels and
change the precipitation to snow.
4-7day Long Range: Snow showers with sun breaks are expected to continue into Friday. With some luck, there could be +10” of snow
by the weekend. A cold stable air mass
dropping in from the north will create a mostly dry and cold weekend.
