**Weather Alert tonight; Same for Saturday night***
Summary: It’s a new month, but the yo-yo of wild swings on the thermometer continue, and the next swing is down, and it arrives in two waves…one tonight, one tomorrow night. From tomorrow night through Tuesday morning, expect frigid conditions.
In addition, be aware of some freezing fog and flurries overnight into early Saturday. The fog should lift around Noon, with a hint of sun around lunchtime, but it won’t last more than a couple hours. The second cold front drives snow into the region, which lasts through the evening, winding down to flurries overnight and into Sunday.
Here are two computer model simulations, side-by-side, and their best guesses for snowfall across the region;
Expect intermittent flurries Sunday, and a period of flurries on Monday too. Little additional accumulation expected from that…but the cold will be deep.
