WeatherWatcher: Winter Weather Advisory in effect until 4am Friday morning

Friday 1-20-2012 1:36am

Temperatures remain in the mid 20's tonight. We had a high of 27°F today at about 1:55 pm. Temperatures have since dropped back down to 25.3°F.

As the next storm front approaches it will be much warmer. We will start with snow, and perhaps some freezing rain/snow mix before a change over to rain. The change over to rain isn't expected until afternoon Friday. Before the change over winter conditions will be present and driving conditions will be poor. 1-2 inches of additional snow accumulation will be possible.

This weekend and beyond:

We should warm up and start melting most of the snow off. Urban flooding will be possible during the melt off, producing a slushy mess. Make sure storm drains are clear of debris. 

We will have a lot of rain this coming week, and it is looking like we may be in for another winter blast possibly at the end of January. I'll have more information on that later on as the situations develop.
