For the forecast, another front will go through our area this morning with moderate precipitation easing off to light precipitation later this morning. There is a chance of a few breaks this afternoon as an upper trough pushes through. Another front is expected for this evening. Sunday looks mostly cloudy with little precipitation before a short lived ridge of high pressure enters our area for Monday. A series of weak fronts will pass through Tuesday into Wednesday. The models are hard to read with the fluctuating freezing levels so precip amounts are hard to nail down. Guesstimates for today 4-6 cm, 2-4 cm for Sunday morning, Flurries for Tuesday, light snow for Wednesday.
