Winter storm watch issued for Monday morning

The snow looks to start moving into our southwest suburbs between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. on Monday, and around daybreak, give or take in the DC Metro.

Temperatures Saturday night will be frigid, falling into the upper teens across the Upstate and low teen in western North Carolina. Temps will be in the mid-30s for Valentine’s Day night.

Clouds will build in Friday morning, and snow will fall near the Tennessee border. The cold air will be in place as our storm system approaches Monday morning.

Most of the state, including Little Rock and central Arkansas, are likely to see a light rain Saturday night through parts of Sunday before turning into heavier showers Monday, Clarke said.

NWS meteorologist Shawna Cokley said snow will begin in the early morning hours Monday, then transition to a mix of sleet and freezing rain. Right now it looks like light snow will develop early Monday morning and linger, off and on, through late morning. “Precipitation should change to heavy rain on Tuesday which could cause flooding”.

Temperatures will slowly rise above freezing through the afternoon, leading to spotty light rain toward 6pm.

NOTE: The snow forecast may very well change before Monday as trying to time how long the snow will last before changing to that wintry mix is a hard forecasting challenge.
