Two Snow Events This Weekend

It's been two days since we picked up measurable snow in the Quad Cities (0.2" on Wednesday).  With the active northwesterly flow aloft and clipper systems dropping in out of Canada every couple of days, we're in for more snow this weekend.

The first of two systems that will bring snow will arrive this evening and tonight.  Here's how much snow is expected by daybreak Saturday.

We get a break from the snow Saturday with some sunshine, a lot of wind, and falling temperatures.  By Saturday afternoon, clouds start increasing with the next system.

Snow is likely Saturday night and Sunday.  We could have around 3" of snow on the ground by 6 a.m. Sunday.  (This DOES include the snow we're expecting tonight).

When the snow is over Sunday, most of the area will have picked up 2-5" of new snow from the two systems. 

Much colder air comes in for early next week.
