We will see every precipitation type between Saturday and Sunday.
Dunn says there will be a snow and wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain Saturday, especially north of U.S. 35.
Any snow accumulation would be generally less than one inch with a light glaze of ice possible. It would create a slick spot, or two before warm air moves in and changes to plain to rain.
'Models are not locked in yet, but there is an increased signal of heavy rainfall for Saturday evening into Saturday night,' said Dunn. 'Some rainfall totals of 1-3 inches are possible, highest south of Interstate 70 in general. Rises on areas of creeks, streams, and rivers can be expected.'
The second part of the weekend features rain changing to snow.
Accumulations are possible, but Dunn says that will come down to moisture availability and the timing of the cold air swinging in.
'Winds will increase with gusts to around 30 mph and with falling temperatures, any moisture could freeze on untreated surfaces,' he said. 'In terms of how much snow we think for Sunday, overall light snow accumulations are the current expectation should snow stick. With that said, exact locations and ranges are not quite locked in just yet. We have some time to narrow in on the best chances for snowfall accumulations, but right now the odds favor lighter totals compared to heavy totals.'
We will see cold temperatures to start the new work week.
