More Snow on the Way Into The Weekend

Record or near record cold temperatures tonight will be replaced tomorrow and this weekend with more snow across the Mississippi and Illinois Valleys.

This morning, it was one degree above zero in the Quad Cities.  If we drop below zero before midnight Thursday, that will be the 31st day this winter below zero in the metro area.  With Friday morning temperatures expected to be below zero, that would be #32!

The record low for Friday is -9° and the forecast is for lows to drop to around -7°.

Now, let's talk snow because we have three days of it coming up.



A system dropping in Friday afternoon and Friday night will bring 1-2" of snow across most of the area.  Northern and northwestern hometowns could see up to 3".

We get a break from the snow Saturday morning, but snow re-develops Saturday afternoon into Sunday night.





Several more inches of snow will fall Saturday and Sunday on top of what accumulates Friday!

By later today and Friday morning, we'll be able to fine tune the weekend forecast and be more specific with the snow projections.
