The low pressure that gave us the overnight snow has moved to our east. Today will be a cloudy and chilly day with highs mainly in the 30s. Another storm system will give us snow developing tonight, mixing with sleet before midnight and then to all rain before ending Thursday morning. Accumulations of snow and sleet will be around an inch. Sunshine on Thursday afternoon will cause temperatures to rise well up into the 40s, which will help melt much of the snow.
Brief high pressure will give us a sunny and seasonably cold day on Friday.
Still another storm system will affect our area over the weekend. Snow should develop Saturday afternoon then quickly change to rain at night and continue into Sunday. Highs on Sunday will again rise to well up into the 40s.
Dry but much colder early next week as an Arctic high pressure builds into our area.
