Warmer with a dust of Snow

A much warmer look to today's temperatures as highs will be 10-20 degrees warmer then yesterday. The cause of this warmer air is because the atmosphere will be well mixed today. I explained mixing in a previous post if you don't remember what it is. Unfortunately though, because of those winds, it will probably feel about as cold as yesterday just because the wind chills will be in the single digits and teens this afternoon.The warmer air will likely be accompanied by a few snow showers over the next 36 hours as well. The models disagree on this a bit but there looks to be enough moisture to have some scattered light snow. Here is an example of a couple of different models.

Notice that these models disagree in the amount of precipitation over this time period. The light green indicates a .01" and the dark green indicates .05". The very light amounts indicated on the models typically tells us that its likely that it will be scattered about and not just one broad area of snow. So, expect a snow shower here and a flurry there but it will likely add up to very little in the long run.
