We have seen limited impacts from snow showers through much of Saturday, and that will remain the case through Sunday as well. We could see a few pockets of flurries or low-impact snow showers, but these will be very scattered in nature. The threat for flurries will diminish by Sunday evening.
Sunday will be a cold and windy day. Aside from the flurry chance, temperatures will only make it to the low 20s early in the afternoon and will fall quickly through the evening. A strong NW wind will make it feel 10-15° cooler with the wind chill factored in. Monday morning's lows will likely be below zero, with a wind chill approaching -15°.
The wind will also cause some blowing and drifting of the recent snowfall. Given its light and flurry nature, much of the snow will be able to blow around, especially in open areas. East-West oriented roads will be most impacted at first, with a North-Northwest wind gusting 20-30 mph. Winds will be strongest Sunday, with gusts near 30-35 mph from the Northwest. Finally, Monday could bring 15-25 mph gusts from the West-Northwest. Even North-South oriented roads could see some blowing and drifting with the strongest winds on Sunday.
Temperatures and wind chills will be dropping quickly throughout much of Sunday, with chills likely below zero by late evening. Sunday night into Monday, temperatures will drop near or below zero, with wind chills possibly near -15°. Monday night into Tuesday will be the coldest night in a while, with wind chills possibly approaching -25°. Many days next week will see afternoon air temperatures only reach the single digits with overnight lows below zero. Wind chills will remain below zero through at least Wednesday.
