Snow showers expected this evening and overnight as a disturbance moves across the area from the Ohio valley. Not much moisture associated with this storm system, so snow accumulation, if any, should be light and not exceed 2″. Still enough to make for some slippery roads Mon morning.

Pleasant though cold conditions prevail for the start of the week, with sunny skies Mon-Wed, but hi temps only hovering around 30. Overnight temps will dip into the teens in the city, so windchill will be a factor in the morning.

A low pressure system forming off the Gulf Coast is forecast to impact our area Wed night-Thu. Latest model runs have trended towards a colder temperature profile, and a storm track slightly farther offshore. This leads to higher confidence in an all snow event. With 72-84 hrs before the storm, this track could change, bringing in more of a rain/snow mix to coastal areas. Stay tuned.
