Bitter cold arrives this weekend along with daily snow showers

 

Just like yesterday, snow showers will be possible this afternoon however unlike yesterday, temperatures will be a lot cooler and will stay cold for the foreseeable future. Temperatures today won't climb out of the teens while a consistent breeze out of the west-northwest will bring wind chill values down into the single digits for most of the day.

As mentioned above, snow showers will once again be possible towards the midday day hours and into the afternoon. Scattered to widespread showers will move into the region by 12 p.m. today and will last into the overnight hours. Because of the scattered nature, snowfall totals will remain less than 2 inches today however totals may see an increase into tomorrow.

A similar situation will play out tomorrow as more snow showers will move through the region during the afternoon lasting until the early evening hours. This time around, snow showers may be a bit more widespread along with carrying slightly better snowfall rates. Once again, a dusting to 2 inches will once again be possible, so total snow accumulation from both Saturday and Sunday may be approaching 2-3" in spots by Sunday evening.

 Not only will these incoming systems carry the possibility of snow showers, but they will also add to our already bitter cold. Temperatures into the nighttime hours over the next few days will be hovering in the single digits while wind chill values will fall into the negatives. Wind Chill values may drop as low as -20° or below by Monday morning.
