The Snow Effect: Temperatures

While the Stateline is poised for a big warm-up on Saturday, that warm-up could have been even bigger if it weren't for all this pesky snow.

Taking a look at Friday's snow cover map, you'll notice the viewing area is on the southern edge of where snow is still on the ground.





When you translate this over to temperatures, you'll notice a big cooldown in areas with that snow cover.






We'll have the same problem on Saturday. At the moment, highs to start the weekend will be right around 40°. If we had no snow cover on the ground, highs would more than likely be in the 50s. Either way, enjoy this warm-up, because the frigid cold returns on Sunday and sticks around for most of next week. -BA
