WINTRY MIX INCOMING....
Monday will be quiet and cool ahead of a storm system that arrives later that night. There will be the potential for a wintry mix and some snowfall accumulation as well.

Temperatures will then drop to near and below the freezing mark as our next storm system approaches. Monday night into early Tuesday morning there will be the chance for a wintry mix and snowfall accumulation. There could be some slick roads for the morning commute Tuesday, especially near and north of Highway 30:
There is still some uncertainty on the exact track of the storm and therefore how much snow will truly accumulate. However, we're starting to see some more agreement among the models.
