Good Friday, folks. Many of us picked up a nice coating of snow to start the day. Never underestimate the power of a northwesterly wind flow in the cold weather season. 🙂 Flurries will continue to fly out there today with temps stuck in the 20s and wind chills in the teens.

Let’s focus on where this pattern goes from here. Our system moving in for Sunday into Monday will continue to focus much of the winter weather just to our north. The leading edge of the precipitation shield can start out as a light mix for many, with the best chance for that being in the north. That shows up  well here…

That’s a healthy snowstorm for areas to our north. Road trip? 😉

After that system passes, we quickly turn our attention toward a big time arctic front. That front swings in here late Tuesday into Wednesday. Current indications are for a wave, or waves, or low pressure to develop along this boundary. Here’s how the latest GFS sees it…

The placement of those lows will be the determining factor on snowfall around here.

The air coming behind this system is icebox stuff for much of the country. Check out the forecast lows…

Man… that’s some serious cold showing up for most of America! Check out the wind chill forecast…

Yowza!

I see some of you leaving comments about some guys in other tv markets talking some smack about me or this site? First off… Let me say to them, thanks for reading everything I say and watching me on TV. I must be doing something right for them to hang onto every word I type or say. Right?

I get that it’s probably a tough pill for some of the egos to swallow… having someone in a neighboring market with more of a following in their own city than they have. Perhaps if they devoted more time to actually working instead of “unplugging” when they aren’t at work, they too would have a massive weather following. 😉

And for the record… I could care less what any other TV station or weather blog forecasts. I only care about what I do and working my backside off to keep you guys safe and up to date.

I will have another update for you guys later today. Stay warm out there and take care.
