Colder than average temperatures continue through the forecast period as north to northwest H5 flow prevails. Scattered low to mid level cloud cover today is expected to persist into the overnight and into Monday, with flurries possible wherever clouds exist. Low temperatures tonight will ultimately depend upon where the clearest skies persist, with lows generally expected to fall either side of zero degrees. Another shortwave approaches the area Tuesday into Wednesday, with light snow possible, along with a surge of reinforcing Arctic air. The 850 mb temps could be as low as 20 below zero for portions of the area, with surface temps in the teens below zero, especially where snow cover is heaviest. Heading into the end of next week, another shortwave will be followed by additional chances for snow on Friday and into the weekend. Overall, the medium range pattern supports additional cold air and occasional snow chances over the next couple of weeks. && .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/...
