Wintry Weekend Update
There's been no shortage of wintry weather so far this month and this weekend looks REALLY BAD TOO! We'll see a few rounds of snow, strong winds and life-threatening cold temps/wind chills late this weekend and early next week.
Friday night offers a good chance for light snow between 7pm and a little after midnight. In the Quad Cities 1-2" is likely. After a quiet start Saturday morning the winds pick back up Saturday afternoon and temps fall back to around 10 degrees late in the evening.
Saturday night offers another good chance for snow. With this system 2 inches of additional snow is a good possibility and some locations cold see more like 3 or 4 inches of fresh snow. Most of this round of snow will wrap up by early Sunday morning.
Then the arctic front arrives Sunday late afternoon/evening. This front will produce snow showers, but the biggest impact by far from this front will be the temps/wind chills that drop like a rock Sunday night. By Monday morning wind chills will be as low as 40 below and things will stay EXTREMELY cold through Tuesday night! This Winter Storm Watch is in effect for the combination of blowing snow and dangerous wind chills!
