Saturday we will see an increase in clouds as a low pressure moves into our area. Snow from this system will begin around sunset on Saturday and end Sunday morning as a mixture of snow, sleet and freezing rain. Snowfall amounts will be 3-6 inches and a winter storm watch has been posted.
Monday high pressure will build into our area giving us a cold day but with plenty of sunshine.
