It's a new week and more snow is on the way. This week is shaping up to be very similar to last week because we are looking at a snow/sleet event for Thursday and a bigger storm for the weekend.
Once again, Thursday's storm looks to be light. The difference this week is that snow will fall late Wednesday night into Tuesday and could change over to sleet and freezing rain at daybreak. Even though we're only expecting to get 1-3", the morning commute could be a mess with the ice forecast, which is why we think delays are likely.
We'll probably see a Winter Weather Advisory by Wednesday.

The storm for the weekend is complicated. Models are not in agreement on the track or on the type of precipitation. It will definitely start as snow Saturday afternoon and then from that point it's unclear. what will happen. The snow could continue or it could transition to mixed precipitation Saturday evening then rain on Sunday. The farther north you are, the better chance you will have for snow.
The models are showing a range of 3" to 8", but that range will narrow as we get a better handle on the track.
Saturday afternoon and night look like bad times for travel.
We'll have more about Thursday's situation in the days ahead.
