The fairly tranquil weather we've experienced the past couple of days may be coming to an end as we look forward into next week. While the details are still very fuzzy, the possibility is there for a little more than a dusting of snow followed by some very cold temperatures early next week. Unfortunately, there are two very different scenarios that are playing out as far as the weather early next week. Our GFS computer model builds a very strong arctic high pressure system and moves it southward Monday which would keep daily high temperatures in the teens and little snow.
The European doesn't really show any sign of that high and develops a low somewhere in the southern Plains and moves it through the lower Mississippi River valley by Tuesday which would likely bring us some hefty snowfall. It then follows the snow with some very cold weather by the middle of the week.
While I haven't completely bought into the European model, since it's really the only one that develops that strong of a low, I kept temperatures in the middle to upper teens for now with snow possible for Monday and Tuesday of next week. Obviously we will be doing a lot of 'fine tuning' the forecast the rest of this week.
