Monitoring Possible Winter Weather Next Week. What We Know: A strong arctic cold front will swing through late Saturday/early Sunday, bringing frigid temperatures to the area late this weekend into early & middle parts of next week. Overrunning moisture will form in the northern/central Gulf of Mexico behind the cold front. We’re beginning to get a better idea of the type of winter weather across the local area. What We Don’t Know: Still low confidence in exact timing, placement/location and amounts of possible winter weather across the area on Tuesday. What You Can Do: Individual weather model runs often change. Avoid focusing on single model runs especially this far in advance. Rely on trusted, official sources for weather updates. Stay informed by monitoring the forecast for updates and changes.
