Cool and quiet conditions expected through mid-week

 Following Sunday night's snow potential, conditions will turn quieter for much of the week ahead. A dominant area of high pressure will spread over the Central U.S. through mid-week, preventing any widespread weather systems. A very brief patch of flurries may work under the incoming high pressure Monday night, but conditions will turn dry for Tuesday and Wednesday. Temperatures will remain cool, with highs in the low to mid-20s. Overnight lows will be chilly, down near the single digits with high pressure overhead Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

A stronger weather system looks to arrive between Thursday and Friday, with a strong jet aloft supporting a low pressure over the Great Lakes. This will also work for force a cold front our direction Friday morning, which will bring a pocket of cooler air to start next weekend. Temperatures will reach the 30s Thursday and early Friday but will come crashing down behind the cold front Friday evening.

Never fear though! The long-term outlooks from the Climate Prediction Center feature a better chance for above average temperatures starting next week. Northwest flow aloft will persist overhead, but the milder air that had been previously kept Southwest will inch ever closer, likely resulting in more 30s than 20s for the second week of February.

Light snow showers Sunday evening

 After some flurries earlier in the afternoon, our next round of light snow showers is spreading across the Stateline this evening. Some drier air may work to limit the snowflakes from reaching the ground at first, but steady snow should begin falling West of I-39 by 6:30-7PM.

Steadiest snow will reach I-39 corridor around 7PM, where visibility could drop down toward a mile in the steadiest pockets of snow. A shallow coating of snow accumulation may develop on untreated surfaces, so be on the lookout for slick spots tonight! Snow showers exit after 12AM, with lingering flurries through early Monday morning. Some very brief patches of freezing drizzle may be possible with the loss of cloud ice, but any impacts to roadways would be limited.
