The forecast from FOX 17 Chief Meteorologist Kevin Craig: There is a WIND ADVISORY in effect across most of the area until 9PM this evening. Look for southwest/west winds at 15 to 25 mph sustained, with gusts to 40/45 mph this afternoon. Light rain transitions to light snow showers as temperatures fall gradually through the day from the mid 40s into the mid 30s. Rain totals will be less than a quarter inch, with little to no snow accumulation or impacts expected. Colder air takes hold over the weekend with highs falling back into the 30s and some snow showers possible...especially Saturday night into Sunday where 1" to 3" will be possible, mainly along/west of U.S. 131. Early next week temperatures stay in the 30s, with a slight warmup by mid-week as the next system arrives with a rain/snow mix likely. The longer range forecast models indicate that overall, we may see temperatures remain above normal into early March.
