Clouds from the last night's weak weather system just departed off to the east, and clouds from the next system over the plains have already arrived. The net result will be very little sunshine today. Temperatures will only rise a few degrees today into the middle 20's under mostly cloudy skies with a light southwesterly breeze. Tonight, snow will begin in the evening, and continue through midnight. It will be a light powdery snow accumulating to less that 1". A little light snow of flurries with continue after midnight through the morning hours on Saturday with no more than an additional dusting. The wind will pick up from the northwest on Saturday and may gust above 20 mph. Colder air from Canada with drop temperatures into the single digits on Saturday night, and hold temps in the teens on Sunday. The next system appears to be stronger than the last two systems. It may spread some snow into the Stateline as early as Sunday night, and snow will continue through Monday into Monday night. There is the potential of several inches of snow accumulation with this system. Colder Canadian air will follow in behind the departing system on Tuesday limiting high temperatures to the teens. The air appears as if it will be of genuine arctic origin potentially dropping temperatures to the coldest levels so far this winter... around -5 by early Wednesday morning. The cold weather will hold through the rest of next week.
