Skies are mostly clear early on this Saturday morning and we have the coldest readings of the season so far with temperatures ranging from the mid 20s here in Clifton to some mid teen further inland, winds are mostly light.

After a cold and clear night we should see clouds increase again on Sunday as low pressure moves to the Great Lakes and a warm front approaches from the south, snow should develop by evening and continue into early Monday, the precipitation should mix with sleet and freezing rain before changing to all rain as the warm front moves to our north, accumulations of 1-3 inches is expected with up to 4-6 inches further inland.  The rain should end in the afternoon.
