Colder weather, possible snow by weekend

Posted: Updated:

CHATTANOOGA, TN (WRCB) -- Make sure the winter coats are still within reach.

We have 2 stages of cooler air on the way.

Stage 1: The system that brought the rain to us, and blizzard conditions to the Plains and the Midwest will now bring in some cooler air.  Though highs will reach the low 50s today, they will not get out of the 40s Thursday and Friday.  Lows will be in the low to mid 30s through the rest of the week.

Along with that cooler air spilling in, we may even see a stray sprinkle or flurry (depending on the time of day), but no accumulation or freezing on local roadways.

Stage 2: Another front will pass through Friday night into Saturday.This will bring another shot of even colder air Saturday and Sunday.  Highs will be in the low 40s, and lows in the mid 20s by Sunday morning.  We could even drop into the upper 10s Monday morning!

As the front passes through, we could see some light mixed precipitation Friday night, and some light snow showers Saturday morning that could provide a dusting Saturday morning.

    Low pressure to the west may bring us a shower or two this morning, but most of the day will feature cloudy skies and highs in the low 80s.

    If you can't enjoy a nice vacation down in the Gulf of Mexico, maybe we can bring a little bit of the gulf to you! Those warmer winds will spawn a few isolated storms this afternoon as highs reach the mid 80s.

    Weekend rain? That is the big change you'll notice in our forecast. Let's start with today. Expect lots of sunshine and warm weather once again, with temps climbing to the mid-to-upper 80s.
