Snow Out, Sun In

Hey fellow viewers, we actually get to see some sunshine early today...later through the afternoon it will turn a bit cloudy and stay cold in the low-mid 30's.

WEEKEND: Saturday will be a very nice day compared to what we've had to endure this work week.  We'll see plenty of sunshine and have temperatures reach into the 40's.  Sunday won't be as charming as Saturday.  A weak upper level shortwave will spawn a surface low on the Missouri and Arkansas border.  Basically, this will translate to more cloud cover and potentially a cold light shower outside.  Since the bottom portion of the atmosphere appears to be above freezing we don't have to worry about the potential for snow accumulations...at least right now.  We still can't rule out a couple snowflakes for Sunday night into Monday morning but it shouldn't affect morning commuters.

EARLY NEXT WEEK:  Cold air lingers while a few glimpse of sunshine are seen across the state.  Temperatures should be on tap to hit the 40's.

LATER THROUGH NEXT WEEK:  Not a whole lot will change with temperatures in the 40's (maybe a few places in the 50's).  We'll still have to shuffle through low clouds to see the sunlight.  I know how much you love to hear this but the long term models are hinting at another arctic cold spell by Thursday and Friday ( I know, really, come on!).  At least no precipitation will be found with this next burst of frigid air.

That is it from the blog center today.  Be sure to watch Jeff Baskin tonight at 5, 9 and 10 for a break down of your weekend weather.
