Good afternoon, everyone. It’s a nice looking day across the region, but the focus of the forecast is on the cold front arriving over the weekend. This will likely have a little light snow behind it, but can we get a wave of low pressure to develop along it?

It’s windy over the next few days as a few systems drop in from the northwest. These are moisture starved with some pretty good temp swings with them.

The main front arrives early Saturday and has a nice shot of cold air coming in behind it. A touch of some light rain may be ahead of the front, but much of the moisture is likely along and behind it. This is where a band of light accumulating snows may set up.

The GFS shows this well…

The Canadian also has a light snow band during the same time…

The EURO has light rain to a touch of light snow…

One of the reasons this system is so progressive is because of the clipper showing up right behind it for Monday. That looks a little stronger on each run. Here’s the Canadian…

And the EURO…

Temps should rebound once that pushes through for the middle of next week. An important plains storm likely shows up before next week is over.

Enjoy the rest of the Dey and take care.
