Good Thursday, everyone. Our day is starting our with a\u00a0 period of mix and snow working across the eastern half of the state. This is causing a few slick spots to develop on area roads. In the overall scheme of things, there is a lot of winter action on the weather menu through the weekend and into next week, including the some serious cold and snow potential.<\/p>\n

As mentioned, today has a period of wet snow working across the eastern half of the state. Some hit and run coatings are showing up with some streaks that can approach an inch or two where the moisture hangs deeper. With temps in the 20s, slick spots develop on roads, with our without any slushy sticking.<\/p>\n

Leftover snow showers and flurries may be going through noon in the east, then a break happens during the afternoon. That’s ahead of an arctic front that slams in here late this evening into the wee hours of Friday morning. Some light snows will be blowing around with this in some areas…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The air behind this is FRIGID. Lows by Friday morning reach the single digits and low teens but gusty winds make it feel much colder. Some areas may see below zero wind chills…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Several different systems then dive in here from the northwest this weekend. Each of them may have some light accumulating snows along their respective tracks. That will be followed up by a major arctic air outbreak moving in later Monday night and Tuesday. This is basically the polar vortex dropping into the country in a fashion similar to late in the 2013\/14 winter.<\/p>\n

This will have an arctic low ahead of it. You can see that and all the action ahead of it…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Low temps behind that for the middle and end of next week may be historic for parts of the country and take us toward zero or below. The GFS is well below…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The European is also below<\/p>\n

I will have updates later today. Until then, let’s track the morning slush potential…<\/p>\n
