Two weather systems we are watching. The Saturday storm and the 2nd storm the middle of next week. Very cold air following the 2nd storm. The Saturday storm will be mostly rain. Next weeks storm should be accumulating snow. Model data the last few days has been kicking out some insane snowfall numbers for next week, but models will over-estimate that many days in advance and cannot be trusted and will eventually be trimmed back as the storm gets closer. Still there looks to be some accumulating snow and we will have a better idea by Monday what that number will be. For today temps pretty steady all day around 31 degrees. Light snow today & then possibly an inch of snow overnight. Towards morning some sleet changing to freezing rain through 11:00am. With possibly 3 hrs of freezing rain, we may likely see some ice accumulation on everything. After 11:00am though, temps will rise above freezing and eventually hit 39 degrees during the day so all afternoon we will just have rain falling with over a half inch of rain likely. Saturday night temps will drop to 18 so all of that water will freeze plus we should see light snow. The heaviest snow will all be up around the Michigan line where less rain will occur and a half a foot of snow is possible. For Sunday a high of 22 and a low of 4 Sunday night. Monday a high of 19 and low of 8. Tuesday 25 with accumulating snow beginning sometime Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday night 17 with accumulating snow and very windy with blowing & drifting snow. Wednesday 24 with snow and very windy. Wednesday night a very cold low of 2 & windy with windchills -15 likely. Thursday only a high of 9 & windy with windchills of -10. Thursday night very cold with a low of -5 and very cold wind chills.
