ALERT For Accumulating Snow At Upper Elevations Into Sunday Morning ( Mainly Above 3000 Feet )
A large temperature plunge will occur overnight into Sunday morning with rain showers changing to snow showers and flurries. A Great Lake moisture linkage will combine with upsloping NW winds to cause an enhanced period of snow showers.
Accumulations of up to 1″, or locally more at highest elevations in the High Knob Massif, will contrast with little to no accumulation at elevations below 2500 to 3000 feet.
Low clouds are expected to break during mid to late Sunday afternoon, with unseasonably cold conditions continuing into April 1.
A milder zonal flow is now expected to develop across the USA with a warming trend during the first week of April, following a chilly start to the new month.
For the second consecutive year, the month of March will end having been colder than February ( above ) versus long-term averages.
