The First Alert Forecast from Theresa Bryant
A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY remains in effect until midnight tonight for the entire TV6 viewing area.
Snow will continue to fall at fairly steady rates across much of the region this afternoon. We're looking for an additional 1" to 3" of snow today as that area of low pressure slowly moves through the midwest.
In addition to the snow, we'll be dealing with gusty winds picking up out of the NW at 15 to 30 mph. This could create blowing and drifting conditions and reduced visibilities on areas roadways, so go slow and exercise caution if you must travel.
Expect some changes taking place over the next 24 hours, with that low pressure system moving out of the region overnight, and an area of high pressure moving in. That means we'll be seeing sunshine for the first tome this week, along with icy temperatures only reaching into the teens through Thursday.
TODAY: Cloudy with continued snowfall. Winds increasing sharply during the afternoon. High: 23°, then falling into the teens this afternoon. Wind NW 15-30 mph.
TONIGHT: Cloudy and windy with snow ending. Snow totals of 4"-7" for most of the area. Low 7°. NW 15-25 mph could create blowing and drifting conditions.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny, windy and cold. High 15°. Wind NW 10-15 mph.
