We have partly cloudy skies early on this Sunday morning and temperatures range from the chilly mid 20s in the Clifton area to some teens in the colder inland suburbs, winds are mainly calm.
A low pressure will be moving to the Great Lakes today as a warm front approaches from the southwest, we should see some light snow developing this afternoon that may coat the ground by this evening. We should have a short break in the snow this evening but snow should redevelop late tonight and continue into early Monday morning, as warmer air moves in we should see the snow mix with sleet and freezing rain before changing to all rain by 9 a.m., the rain will continue into the afternoon. Accumulations will be 1-2 inches in the Clifton area to 3-5 inches further inland before the changeover.
Tuesday will be a dry and seasonably cool day.
A cold front on Wednesday looks to come through dry, this front will be followed by the coldest air of the season so far for Thursday and Friday, high temperatures both days will likely stay below freezing with lows well down into the teens and the single digits across many inland areas.
Another low pressure system may give us some snow late Friday night into Saturday which will likely change to rain as warmer air moves into the area.
