Good afternoon. Snow flurries continue for today (Wednesday, Jan 15) and will continue into tonight. Currently a trough axis stretches from Ontario, Canada down to Mississippi. Cold air advection is occurring which has allowed our temperatures to be cold today. Moisture is not present since the dewpoint is 15°, however there is enough moisture to allow a few snow flurries to fall. At the surface, a surface high is located over southern Texas and a surface low is located over Manitoba Canada. Current temperature is 31° under mostly cloudy skies. A few snow flurries are still flying. Our low this morning was 25°. Now let's take a look at the rest of the week into the weekend.

The trough axis mentioned early will continue to move off to the east allowing our next clipper system to move in tomorrow. The system tomorrow will come from the northwest as a surface low passes just to our north. As the low approaches, winds will turn out of the south at 10-15 mph which will help our temperatures to warm up. Precipitation associated with this system will move in tomorrow afternoon/evening and will be very light. Due to the temperature warming up tomorrow, precipitation will start as rain and change over to snow as colder temperatures push in. Again precipitation will be very light with no snow accumulation expected. Friday, will be colder with light snow showers/flurries possible in the morning becoming clear. Saturday, high pressure will be in control before another clipper system moves through Saturday afternoon and evening that could bring us some more light precipitation. Sunday, expect the clipper system to move out of the area.
