Discussion
Much colder air will pour into the region today on gusty NW winds following the passage of a late night strong cold front and temperatures are likely to slowly drop through the day from early morning levels. It’ll become bitter cold tonight under mainly clear skies and stay quite cold on Saturday and then attention will turn towards the southwest as moisture will ride northward out of the Gulf of Mexico and begin to head our way. At the onset of this Super Bowl Sunday precipitation event, it should be cold enough for some snow or a wintry mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain, but then as milder air pushes in from the southeast, a changeover to all rain is quite likely. This changeover to plain rain will take place from southeast-to-northwest during the day on Sunday and there can be small snow accumulations before the transition completes. Precipitation winds down by early Monday –perhaps as a brief change back to snow - and then a couple of cold and dry days will precede another rain and/or snow event at mid-week.
