Cold air filling in behind the low pressure center progressing northeastward today. Strong gusty winds continue to blow as cold air mixes in, turning any lingering precip to snow tonight. We'll squeeze out just a few flurries before high pressure helps dry things out and clear out our sky Friday night. Much colder tonight with a low of 23.

After a chilly start, temperatures will warm up nicely Saturday into the mid 40s. A weak disturbance will toss a few low level clouds our way. Otherwise things stay dry and on the warm side until another system arrives Sunday night/ Monday. Expect patch drizzle, then scattered rain showers Sunday.

Still seeing a few question marks regarding the timing of Monday's weather. Ingredients for some severe weather and heavy rain are there. Also expecting more strong winds and flooding issues for the first part of next week. Cold air on the backside of the system will add a few snow flurries into the mix. Otherwise, next week's forecast will remain calm & dry with mild temperatures Tuesday through the rest of next week.
