After a wintry end of the week with snow for most of the region, we will get a break from the snow with some much-needed sunshine looking ahead into the upcoming weekend.

The clouds have thinned out overnight last night into this morning, and I’m expecting lots of sunshine looking ahead throughout our Saturday. There may be a few more clouds in some of our northern communities up into the thumb, with a few snowflakes possible thanks to the northwesterly flow that will continue for the start of the weekend. High temperatures warming below freezing throughout the day, only heading for the middle 20s by the time we get to Saturday afternoon.

Mainly clear skies will be expected overnight tonight, and that will allow temperatures to drop pretty fast. Overnight low is dropping into the single digits, with windshields also going into the single digits overnight Saturday night into early on Sunday morning.

Looking ahead to the end of the weekend on Sunday, we will keep some sunshine into the forecast with a little more cloud cover sticking around as well. High temperature is remaining below freezing, only in the middle 20s by Sunday afternoon.

Our next chain of winter weather moves back into the region, looking ahead into the start of next week, we will see another area of low pressure move towards the region, and that will overspread snow into the region Monday afternoon into Monday evening. High temperature is warming up to right around the freezing mark, end of the lower 30s by Monday afternoon.

Then, dry weather sticks around, looking ahead into Christmas Eve and Christmas Day for Tuesday and Wednesday. Mostly cloudy skies can be expected both days, high temperatures continuing to warm, into the upper 30s both days.

The cloud cover sticks around for Thursday, before rain showers are back into the forecast, looking ahead into the end of next week on Friday. The warming trend continues into the end of next week. It temperatures are expected to warm into the lower 40s both Thursday and Friday.
