More light snow this weekend paired with bitter cold

 Additional snow showers will be likely at times this weekend with some bitterly cold air settling in. Both afternoon highs will remain in the teens with overnight lows in the single digits or close to zero.

The first main window for light snow will be centered around mid-day Saturday, with the steadiest of the snow falling between 10AM-2PM. Between a half inch and an inch of snow could come down through the afternoon. With temperatures in the teens this will be enough to coat the roads once again.

Yet another round of light snow will be possible Sunday, with the timing shifted a bit further out compared to Saturday's snow. The main window of this snow will be centered around early afternoon, with steadiest snow falling between 12-4PM. Another half inch to maybe a little more than an inch will be possible, coating the roads yet again. In total, between 1-3" of snow may come down over the course of the weekend, but it will be too spread out to cause significant travel concerns.

Bitter cold is set to follow the weekend snow, with temperatures dropping to the single digits at night the next several nights. Afternoon highs won't make it out of the teens through at least Tuesday. Wind chills will make things feel even colder. Sunday morning, minimum wind chills will be near -10°. By Monday morning, wind chills will be closer to -20° or colder. Wind chills will finally return above zero Tuesday.
