It ain't over yet...just wait till next week!

If you think this week was cold and snowy, next week could be the worst week of the entire winter. We're talking the coldest air of the season and perhaps another big snowstorm.

We'll have a light weight snow system move through the area overnight tonight (Friday) leaving us with just an inch or two.  Sunday night and Monday morning a second snow system will likely leave behind 3-6 inches. Then the big stuff arrives.

Colder air, probably the coldest of the season, will arrive by late Tuesday or early Wednesday. A storm system is expected to develop over Texas and move along the Gulf coast on Wednesday. The LOW will then shoot northeast into the Ohio/Tennessee Valley. If it does what the model expects it to do, it will be snowy, windy, and very cold around these parts during the Wednesday/Thursday time period.  Then, behind the wind and snow, COLD!  Like Friday morning lows could be well below ZERO.

It's not on the maps yet. The storm hasn't developed. But, you will want to keep up with forecasts next week. It could be another week of "fun in the wonderful world of weather".

Oh...wait! Before I go, I do want to point out that after we get past this mess next week, we will turn the corner. A significant warm-up is going to begin the last week of February.  :-)
