This happens as low pressure tracks eastward out of the Great Lakes region, passing to our north. Its warm front may produce a bit of light snow mainly to our north this evening, with an extension of moisture to the south producing a few rain and snow showers in our region, with snow most likely west of I-95 while rain and\/or snow can occur from the I-95 belt eastward. This is a minor event. The system&#8217;s cold front will swing through on Thursday and can deliver a rain shower as the southwesterly wind flow strengthens. Colder air moves in behind that front by Thursday night into Friday on a gusty westerly wind. Later Friday, another disturbance passing by to our north will drag an arctic cold front through the region, perhaps with a snow shower or snow squall, and deliver the coldest air of the winter so far for Friday night into the weekend. This will be accompanied by dry weather and a gusty wind Saturday but a sky that features sunshine and high clouds, the latter being the northern edge of a sprawled out, organizing winter storm across much of the south central and southeastern US, moving east. Media&#8217;s been in a frenzy about the potential impact (or lack of impact) from this system up here starting later this weekend. Current indications are that the system will track far enough north for snow to move into our region on Sunday. What we do not know yet is the exact configuration and track of low pressure, whether or not a secondary low forms, which even if the system stays far enough south, has implications on arrival and intensity of snow, and ultimately duration and other finer storm impacts. However, sticking with what is more known, this forecast will just reflect an increasing snow threat for Sunday and more fine-tuning will be upcoming. Can&#8217;t give all the details until we know all the details, and we don&#8217;t know all the details yet. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Sun followed by increasing clouds. Highs 25-32.
