Good Saturday, everyone. We have some wicked weather pushing across the region over the next couple of days. By wicked, I mean big temperature swings to go along with thunderstorms to be followed by some sleet and snow.

  • Highs today surge into the low 60s on a strong southwesterly wind. Showers and thunderstorms will develop into a line by afternoon and evening.
  • Arctic air diving in behind this line will undercut it, leading to a quick switch to sleet and some snow. That’s not going to last more than a few hours, but can put down some light accumulations…

  • Icy roads will be possible as temps drop into the low 20s Sunday morning.
  • Temps will hold steady and may drop into the teens during the afternoon in the west and central. This air mass is arctic and coming off a deep snowpack to our northwest. The GFS and your apps are about to get crushed on this.
  • Readings by Monday morning have a shot at single digits in a few spots in the west and north…

I will update things later today. Make it a good day and take care.
