Bitter cold Friday night

We’ll drop into single digits overnight, with some areas outside of the Metro Zone dropping below zero.
When you factor in a light wind, it’s going to feel as low at 10-15 below zero, in spots.
Few snowflakes this weekend
Models continue to show late Saturday/early Sunday snow as coming with minimal impact.
Similar to what we received Thursday night, we’ll get a few tenths, at most, on Sunday.
Warmer temperatures next week
Those sick of the cold will get some relief next week, as we top out near 40 degrees Tuesday.
Don’t learn to love it too much, though. A big-time Arctic air push returns at the end of next week.
Impactful storm next week
Long-range models are coming into better agreement as to what plays out next week. Here’s a breakdown:
Tuesday: We may get clipped by a few light showers later in the evening, but it looks like rain chances are better to our east Tuesday.
Wednesday: Snow moves in later in the day from the south.
Thursday: Snow, snow, snow.
Friday: A few snowflakes early in the morning before this system exits.
NOTE: While long-range models are in better agreement on this storm, it’s still five-plus days out, so things very well could change. It’s also too far out to talk totals, but this could be a doozie. Stay tuned!
