First Accumulating Snowfall Possible Sunday into Monday

As I hinted at last week the weather pattern has shifted from Fall to Winter and with that shift models are now showing that we could see our first accumulating snowfall Sunday into Monday. As of now, the models are showing only a few inches followed by rain, but it’s certainly enough to be a nuisance.

The next few days will feature temperatures during the day in the mid to upper 30’s and night time temperatures in the 20’s with clear weather.

Sunday night a low pressure system will enter our region with precipitation out ahead of it. As of now it looks likely that this precipitation will be in the form of snow. The EURO, GFS, and CMC (Canadian) all show some form of snowfall. The question mark is how much, it could only be a dusting or several inches. Trends over the next few days will be very important. The good news is that by Monday morning temperatures will warm into the mid-30’s and the precipitation will change to rain and any snow that has fallen will melt.

Moving forward, the models are signaling that our weather turns even colder with lows possibly in the teens and multiple storm threats on the models. But it’s far too soon to say what these storms may bring.

Below find some model outputs of total snowfall on Sunday night (These are subject to significant change in the next few days):
