Slight Chance Of Snow Thursday, Friday, Saturday

So far we haven't had much snow but, if the weather forecasters have this right, we might start to make up for it during the next few days.

The National Weather Service says high pressure is building across the region through Thursday and that a weak low pressure system and associated cold front will pass north of the region Thursday night. "A storm system impacts the area on Saturday with unsettled weather persisting into early next week," the National Weather Service says. "High pressure and dry conditions return for midweek."
