Few showers/sprinkles rest of today
The bulk of the rain is off to our west, but we’ll see a few showers or sprinkles move through for the rest of today.
This activity should be wrapping up this evening, but a few may be around for high school football games.
Wintry mix Saturday
Still on track to see a few flakes to start Saturday.
As temperatures warm heading into the afternoon, these flakes should change over to drops.
Can’t rule out some of these snowflakes adding up on grassy/elevated surfaces, but not really expecting much.
Snow Sunday
Models beefing things up quite a bit for Sunday as many of them are bringing us accumulating snow.
WARNING: The first snow of the year is always cloaked in accumulation doubt -- some things we have to be mindful of are ground temperatures and rate of snowfall. Because of this the chance for snow adding up Saturday is minimal, but better Sunday.
I suspect we’ll see 1/2 inch to an inch for most areas by Monday morning, but some spots could see closer to 1.5 inches.

Normal first snowfall
Wednesday of next week is the date of our normal first snowfall.
Looking like we’ll beat that this year with some snow adding up on Sunday.
