SNOWFLAKES IN OCTOBER...

Cold air has taken over and with that comes different types of precipitation. There will be a few chances of seeing some snowflakes over the next two days. A cold front moved through Saturday and now colder air is moving in. There will be a weak disturbance that moves through in the morning and lead to the chance for rain, but also some wet snow/sleet mixed in.

Temperatures will be much colder compared to Saturday and highs will be well below normal once again:

There will be another disturbance that moves through Monday and brings another chance for a wintry mix/snow:

And Thursday:

After a pretty dry start to October it looks like the weather will be picking up steam... coming with some snowflakes, too.
