The National Weather Service predicts a clipper system to come in on Friday, potentially bringing one to three inches of snow. NWS meteorologist Ray Young said that system could be arriving around rush hour.
Saturday will be the coldest day of the chilly spell, with temperatures likely topping out in the upper-20’s in the lowlands with higher elevation areas potentially not making it out of the teens.
