Other than a few light snow showers expected later this afternoon the weather should remain fairly quiet (but cold)...at least until this weekend. We're starting to pay closer attention to a storm system slated to move out of the Plains and into the Great Lakes Friday night. This time of year the track of our weather makers is very important because it could mean the difference between shoveling snow, slipping and sliding on the roads or dealing with rain. Looking into this upcoming weekend there are two different potential tracks this one could take. One of our weather computer models takes the low through central and southern Illinois which would mean a very cold weekend, but also the possibility of an accumulating snow through the Great Lakes. Another computer model takes the low further north with more warm air getting wrapped in which would likely yield some type of a mix Friday night and Saturday - with temperatures not getting as cold. As we get closer to the weekend we should be able to get a better idea of what's going to happen. If I were to take a guess...I would say that probably a little more of a southern track would be likely. We'll see if I'm right!
