Today’s Forecast: Arctic cold front energizes snow showers this evening

The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Kara James: More snow and cold air is on the way this week. An Arctic cold front this evening will re-energize a band of stronger, more widespread snow. Travel conditions may deteriorate for a few hours, just after sunset. The bigger story comes with falling temperatures later tonight into Monday. Stronger winds behind the Arctic front will push lake effect snow showers inland for Monday, with many areas picking up as much as 3-6″ of snow between tonight and Wednesday. Overnight feels like temperatures will be in the single digits, with consistent winds of 10 to 15 mph and higher gusts. Temperatures Monday will fall from near 30 degrees to 10 degrees by Monday night. Tuesday will be stuck in the teens with feels like temperatures below zero at times. Lake effect snow showers are likely to continue on and off into Wednesday, with temperatures moderating back into the low to mid 30s for highs to finish the week. If you are a winter weather lover, this cold pattern looks to be in place through at least the middle of January. Stay with FOX 17 for the latest forecast updates!
