Arctic Blast Arrives Tonight…

 

Synopsis:

An Arctic front will move through the region this evening with scattered snow showers and strong wind gusts. Once the front passes through the coldest air of the season so far will rush in. A bitter blast will arrive tonight and Wednesday. Temperatures will  remain below freezing for highs on Wednesday with a biting wind. Wind chills will be in the teens.

An Alberta clipper will move into the region Wednesday Night and early Thursday morning. A period of snow showers or light snow is likely. A coating of snow is possible in spots by Thursday morning.

Another round of snow showers is possible Friday night as a weak disturbance moves through. This system is moving rapidly and should  not be a be deal.

The cold will moderate some by the weekend with readings reaching the lower 40s by Sunday. A decent amount of sun is expected.

Stay tuned.
