Although temperatures today won't be anywhere near warm, they'll still be warm compared to the forecasted high temperatures over the next few days heading into the weekend. We'll still be under average with our forecasted high of 24° but temperatures will drop nearly 30° from this at times towards Saturday and Sunday. Along with that, a few chances for light snowfall may be possible as well.
Ahead of our next high-pressure system that will move in this evening temperatures will still be rather comfortable while a breezy westerly wind may keep those temperatures from feeling like 24°. However, towards the evening tonight, cooling temperatures will favor the little amount of moisture we have in our atmosphere, so cooling temperatures into the nighttime may allow for a few scattered showers to move into the region beyond 6 p.m.
Temperatures will quickly drop then heading into tonight and early tomorrow morning as the center of the high-pressure system will be in place to our west transporting arctic air southward. Wind Chill values tomorrow morning may be pushing -20° or below so cold safety will need to be practiced while staying inside will be recommended as well into the weekend.
As temperatures plummet at the surface, a weak clipper system will move overhead tomorrow which will bring the chances for a few snow showers tomorrow afternoon. The good news with this though is that higher moisture content will be in place further to our south which will keep higher snowfall chances and accumulation totals to our south. Still though, with any moisture that pushes north a few light snow showers will be possible however accumulation totals will remain less than 2" inches.
