Thursday should actually be a dry day, the first one in a few to feature no chance of precipitation. The trend won't last long, but we can enjoy it while it's here. The air will again be colder, with high temperatures reaching only into the lower 30's. The morning commute on Thursday morning should feature temperatures below freezing and partly cloudy skies. Throughout the day, expect clouds to increase slowly as evening approaches. Another storm system, this time weaker, will approach from the south/southwest..and bring with it increasing chances of light snow Thursday night into Friday. Friday morning is expected to be snowy--so please plan accordingly on Thursday to make your morning commute Friday a little easier. Please note, Snow Bulletin's are in effect for the potential for 2 to 4 inches of snow Thursday Night into Friday. Featured image: Latest radar imagery in and around the metro area.
