We’ll have a cold weekend ahead, however, we will dodge a bullet with a major winter storm tracking to our south. The northern fringes of this system could still bring some light snow to the city, though. The cold temperatures stay in place through the weekend and into early next week. Looking ahead, we should see a pattern change that leads to some warmer temperatures by mid-week next week

Rest of today – mostly sunny, cold, with high temperatures hovering around 30°F. Gusty northwest winds steadily subsiding as a strong Arctic high pressure center moves closer to us. Clear, crisp night with overnight lows around 20°F.

Saturday – partly sunny, high temperatures topping out around the freezing mark. Snow flurries are possible overnight into Sunday. Overnight lows in the mid-20s.

Sunday – partly sunny with clouds possibly breaking from north to south later in the day. Some flurries still possible early in the day. High temperatures similar to Saturday around freezing. Overnight lows in the low-20s.

Monday – mostly sunny, with high pressure building again, temperatures still cold in the mid-30s.
