FIRST WARNING FORECAST
When the sunshine breaks through this morning, don't expect the same mild feel. Winter has paid us a visit, and looks to stay for a little while longer.

Today's Forecast: Returning sunshine, but a cooler feel. Highs in the low 40s.

Tonight: A few clouds, with some patchy frost. Lows 25-30.

Friday: Increasing clouds. Scattered rain/snow in the evening. Highs near 40.

Another storm system sweeps through this coming weekend, also with the potential for more snowfall-- maybe even enough for some of us to shovel...(see below)

Discussion:

That small storm-system that passed over yesterday, believe it or not, more than DOUBLED our snowfall for the season-to-date in Huntington (which normally would be quite a feat). We now have 0.7" of snow for the season, instead of 0.3" :-)

Today we'll see the sunshine returning once again to the region, but don't expect the same near-balmy feel of earlier in the week. Temperatures will be struggling in the lower 40s, but at least we won't have much of a wind chill to deal with.

Skies should stay dry right through the start of Friday, but clouds are on the way back. Expect to see some light rain/snow showers approaching during the evening commute, but the real action is expected later that night and into Saturday. There will be an arctic push of 'real' cold air lining up with this go-around, so we're expecting everyone to experience a longer period of snowfall than at other times for this meager winter. It's something that we'll be watching in the coming days, but perhaps a few of us may have to dig the shovel out of the garage for the first time on Saturday.

Have a great Thursday everyone!
