Synopsis:
An Arctic blast will gip the trip-state area today. The coldest air of the season so far will be with us. Temperatures will remain mainly in the 20s with a biting wind. Wind chills will be in the teens under a mix of sun and clouds.
An Alberta clipper will move into the region tonight 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.
