Snow Sunday Morning Before A Cold Week

    10pm Update: Temperatures are currently near 36 in the area, and the forecast remains on track. The key factor remains how intense the snowfall is. Heavy snow would overtake slightly-too-warm temperatures and cool it off, thus resulting in more accumulations. 

Temperatures are near 38 downtown and 34 in the suburbs. We are near 36. 

There is a moderate chance that we get a decent amount of snow on the grass, but not much on roads.

Original 7:30pm forecast: 

Snow is expected tomorrow morning, though accumulations aren't entirely certain. A cold week is expected following this.

Snow is likely to begin around 5 or 6am. It won't be that long, and should clear out between 12pm and 2pm. 

Heavier snowfall is likely, which is crucial for overcoming the above-freezing temperatures of Shabbos. 

Assuming we get the heavier snowfall, and it accumulates fully, we would get 4 to 6 inches. 

Really heavy snowfall for a more prolonged period, would result in 6 to 8 inches. 

On the conservative end, we are going with 3 to 5. 

Summary:

-3 to 5 inches likely

-Potential for up to 8 inches

-Possibilutiy of limited accumulations due to temperatures

A Winter Storm Warning is in effect 5am Sunday until noon Sunday. 

Temperatures in the afternoon will hit 38, before plunging to 16 Sunday night.

Any wet surfaces will freeze. 

Temperatures next week, witn the exception of Tuesday, will be in the 30s.

We could get some freezing rain and sleet Tuesday. There is also potential for a winter storm Thursday into Friday.
