Busy beginning and end to this next week

As we head into the week of Christmas there are a couple storms that will be watched fairly closely over this weekend.  The first will come through Monday into Tuesday and the next will likely come Thursday night into Friday.

The first system will begin to move across the Plains Sunday afternoon and likely bring some light snow out to the west in Iowa as warm air begins to advect northward.  We might even see a little light snow begin late Sunday evening/overnight into Monday.  Even three days out there is still a difference in the track of this system, but as it appears now the atmosphere should remain cold enough to support snow Monday afternoon into Monday night but if temps warm by Tuesday we might see a little bit of a mix into Tuesday morning.

The next storm of concern would come in late on Thursday and into Christmas Eve Day.  This one may pose more of a threat of accumulating snow as the current track of this storm is more south, causing several inches to fall.  We are still a week away from this one but wanted to put out some caution that anyone with travel plans for the holidays should monitor the weather as we go into this upcoming week.
