Following our fresh snowfall from Thursday into Friday morning, a cooler air mass will settle in through the weekend. Starting with Friday night, overnight lows will dip into the teens and near single digits for some. Be cautious of any re-freezing of untreated surfaces through Saturday morning. The afternoon will be warmer, but highs only reach the low 20s under a partly cloudy sky. Sunday will be milder with highs in the low 30s, but our next weather system could follow into the night.
High pressure dominates the forecast through the weekend, so optimal travel conditions across the region can be expected Saturday and much of Sunday. But Sunday night, our next system will be moving in from the West.
The next weather system will arrive Sunday night into Monday morning. Locally, a few rain showers with a small chance for some freezing rain will be possible during this time. Further North, another round of accumulating snow could occur from Wisconsin into Michigan and further East. Temperatures Monday will be in the upper 30s locally.
Another period of dry weather across the region for much of Monday night-Tuesday, but the next system could bring periods of steady rain starting late Christmas Eve. These could last even into Christmas Day.
The combination of any rain we see along with milder air is likely to melt most if not all of this snow just before Christmas. Afternoon highs will be in the mid to upper 30s starting Monday, with overnight lows not far from the freezing mark. Any steady rain we see will only increase that melting right before Christmas. The "White Christmas" chances looking lower and lower by the day.
