A band of moisture will move through the Interior Monday and Tuesday, bringing with it warmer air and periods of widespread rainfall which could approach upwards of an inch for some locations. Cooling conditions during the overnight hours, especially after the system departs, will lead to refreezing of snow-melt and rain on roadways, creating particularly slick and slippery conditions.
A series of fronts are expected to move across the Interior on Sunday and Monday. The initial front on Sunday will bring a band of snowfall across the area. With this first front, light snow accumulations are expected. The next front moving across the Interior on Monday will be accompanied by warmer temperatures, which could bring the potential for a light rain/snow mix in the valleys and moderate snow amounts across higher elevations. This could lead to slick travel conditions, especially during the overnight hours Monday night into Tuesday when the temperatures could drop below freezing once again. Accompanying the second front will be a period of gusty winds across the higher elevations. This could bring some blowing snow concerns Monday night/Tuesday morning, which could reduce visibility to one mile or less.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS: The snow will come in two waves. Snow is more likely Saturday morning into Sunday morning with 3 to 6 inches expected. There will be a break with lighter snow Sunday afternoon and night. On Monday, snow is likely in the morning with 2 to 4 inches expected but rain becomes more likely in the afternoon as warmer temperatures intrude and this will limit snowfall totals. Any rain will act as freezing rain and accrete on surfaces below freezing. This could make for slick conditions early next week.
