Our winter storm is winding down.
Watch for black ice tonight and tomorrow morning.
Temperatures tomorrow and Sunday should pop into the 30s. Hopefully, some melting.
Arctic front arrives Sunday night with more cold air early next week.
I can’t rule out snow showers or freezing drizzle Sunday night. I will monitor it.
Small chance of flurries Monday into Tuesday night.
A warm up late next week. The 40s may return!
I am watching a system around January 18th to 20th. A bit early to know if it will bring snow or rain.

You can see the area of low pressure along the Gulf of Mexico.
This is why it is snowing.
You can see the moisture spreading northward on this map. The arrows coming from the Gulf of Mexico. Feeding our snow event.

Quick video update
5:25 AM
Good morning. My forecast is on track. Some of you are waking up to snow and some of you are not. That was the forecast. Some would wake up to snow spreading in on radar.
A widespread 2 to 4 inches of snow today. There could be pockets of 4″ to 6″. That would mainly be across the Missouri Bootheel east northeast along the Kentucky/Tennessee border and then south from there.
Whether areas to the north end up in banding with higher totals will just have to be monitored. I did not make any changes to my forecast.
Here are some NWS graphics, as well.
All of my counties are under a winter storm warning.
Approximate timing. Give or take.
Here is what the NWS is forecasting for snow totals.
Approximate end time.

Widespread snow moving in. Some of this is virga and is not reaching the ground. It will eventually reach the ground.
Everything is on track. The winter storm is spreading across the region.
