Forecasts are likely to change in the next few days, but the inhabitants of the area can expect some accumulated snowfall next week, based on the current forecast.

National Weather Service says that areas south of Interstate 35 and US Highway 50 have a good chance – currently 50 to 80 percent – to get at least 4 inches of total snowfall as part of two separate snowstorms, one comes to the area late on Monday Evening through Tuesday morning and another Tuesday evening to Wednesday. Forecasts for the period of 14-16 years await.

Unlike the area’s largest snowfall in the season so far last month, when up to half an inch ice and 5-plus inch were followed by subzero temperatures and wind cooler January 4-5, high temperatures should be in the 20th century and lowness should keep you above zero for most of next week.
