Weather It Is (Cold and a Period of Snow)

Good Evening:

A very cold air mass will develop tonight south of Turkey and then slide into Syria tomorrow (Sunday).  It will then move very slowly away from us on Monday,

The best chance for measurable precipitation will be later tonight into tomorrow afternoon.  At the same time, the coldest air of the year will settle in, and put us in the deep freeze until Tuesday. Hence, a period snow is possible tomorrow, and cold temperatures will create icy conditions.  Flurries are possible on Monday, and temperatures will likely be near or below freezing.

Over the last few days, the storm off to our north has been forecast to approach ever closer, but the forecast settled in on Friday to its current forecast Sunday and Monday position. Were the storm to deviate in its forecast path further to the southwest, then the air in the upper atmosphere would cool more than forecast to produce a heavier snowfall. Based on the current projections, this is not likely.
