BITTER COLD: It may be sunny outside today and tomorrow but don’t let that fool you. It will be very cold with readings in the single digits through the 20s across the state. Lows Thursday morning could break records once again especially in the northern and eastern counties of the state.
MORE SNOW: Just to add to all your winter troubles is another snow storm moving in on Friday. This looks to bring an inch or two to the state. It will move into Friday morning across our western counties and in the afternoon in the east. A good 12 hour chance of seeing snow is possible before the system moves off to the east early on Saturday morning. Readings will remain below seasonal levels with teens and 20s likely, which should make the snow a dry fluffy snow (good for sking, bad for making snowman). With one storm pulling out, the next one will be right on its heels moving into the western counties late Saturday morning into Saturday afternoon. Most areas should easily see perhaps a 12 hour window from when the snow chances end to when they should pick up once again. The heaviest snow looks to fall Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning before beginning to taper off. Several inches could be possible but it’s still too early to determine amounts at this time. We’ll have a better handle on that soon. Another batch of light snow or flurry activity looks to come in Monday but this looks to be a non-event at this time. Temperatures during this weekend storm look to range in the teens and 20s.
NEXT WEEK AND BEYOND: Going farther into the month of March, we see readings starting to moderate a little bit, but the flow still looks to come out of the northwest at least a few more days before a ridge begins to push into the state toward the end of the period. There are some chances to see some precipitation during this time as well, but we’ll be able to pinpoint those storms once they get closer to the area at that time,
