Light Snow Monday

The big story this weekend was the very cold weather.  Lows Sunday morning dropped into the single digits, with wind chills below zero!  While we will still be well below average for much of the work week, it won't be as cold as this weekend.  And, we add snow to the cold on Monday!

This is not expected to be a widespread, heavy snow event.  This disturbance doesn't have much moisture to work with.  But, as you can see from the darker shades of blue, there could be a couple areas with moderate bursts of snow.  Those are areas that could see a little over an inch.

Folks south of Interstate 80 may escape this system with nothing worse than a dusting of snow.  Here in the Quad Cities metro area, I'm thinking a good quarter to half inch of snow is a good bet, with areas north of Highway 30 receiving up to an inch.  Again, we can't rule out a few isolated areas getting 1.5" to 2."  Overall, a weak system.  Just take it slow if you're out on the roads as visibility may be down at times.
