Changeover To Snow Tonight, Keep An Eye On Next Week

I'm still thinking we have a shot at some snow in the overnight hours tonight.

Wait, it's 60° right now, that can't be right. Let me check again...

Uh yeah, sure enough, we should get a blast of winter in the overnight hours. We'll start as rain sometime around midnight, and then the cold air will begin to rush in.

The HRRR shows a couple hours of moderate snow falling in the overnight:

Just because snow falls doesn't mean it sticks. I think maybe if we catch some heavier bands, we could have some brief accumulation on roads, but as soon as rates ease up it'll all melt.

I doubt we see much of a headache with the morning commute or school delays, as this should just be a brief hitter before clearing out for the rest of the weekend.

I think what we need to keep an eye on is the Monday-Tuesday timeframe next week. This is when we could get actual accumulation with a system phasing to an east coast monster passing over us. We'll stay below normal for temps for the next several days, so anything that hits us should have a chance at sticking.

Hope you didn't put away the snow shovels just yet.
