Arctic air is low-level and it&#8217;s dense so it tends to press farther south than the models think. That&#8217;s something to keep in mind with next week&#8217;s pattern.<\/p>\n<p>In the short-term, the arctic air pressing more is also going to play a role in our Friday light snow maker. This lighter as we get closer because we are seeing how the arctic air is flexing some. That &#8220;flex&#8221; means slightly drier air and pushes the best snow chances farther south and east. Instead of this being a 1&#8243;-3&#8243; snowfall, we are now looking at mainly a 1&#8243; or less setup. Here are what the models look like&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"css-9pa8cd\" draggable=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/FKDqyLHWUAY0Y6L?format=jpg&amp;name=medium\" alt=\"Image\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"css-9pa8cd\" draggable=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/FKDW1smXIAIcHNi?format=jpg&amp;name=medium\" alt=\"Image\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"css-9pa8cd\" draggable=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/FKDW7ImXwAYg-bT?format=jpg&amp;name=medium\" alt=\"Image\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Bitterly cold air with single digit lows shows back up Friday night into Saturday morning. Wind chills go below zero during that time.<\/p>\n<p>I have no changes to the setup for next week as a powerhouse of a temperature gradient sets up in our region. This will fire up a significant overrunning system that can take us from heavy rain to winter weather in just a few hours&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"css-9pa8cd\" draggable=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/FKDW3XqWYAo9P1Z?format=jpg&amp;name=large\" alt=\"Image\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Temps may drop 20-30 degrees in just a few hours in this kind of setup.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a pretty active setup taking shape and it&#8217;s loaded with winter weather potential deep into the month.
