A Light Wintry Mix Possible on Monday

The next system to affect Stateline area weather is over southwestern Canada, and it is moving towards the midwest. It will not be nearly so cold tonight with mostly cloudy skies.  Southerly winds drawn into the system will over-run the cold air in our region, and could bring some light snow and freezing drizzle to the area on Monday. The light snow should be less than 1", but could be not much more than a dusting.  Freezing drizzle mixed in could make roads and walkways very slippery, so please exercise due caution driving and walking on Monday.  Skies will be cloudy, and the temperatures will recover nicely into the upper 20's with southwesterly winds blowing in at 10 to 15 mph. The system will weaken as is pushes through the Stateline late in the day, and no arctic air is expected to fill in behind the departing system.  No significant snow storms are expected for the next 7 days. Temperatures will be moderate for this time of year, but there are indications of another intrusion of arctic air next weekend.
